Letter to the editor: Giving stimulus check back to government

In response to Cheryl Rossetti’s letter “Disagree with election results? Return stimulus checks”): This is a great idea to try to “pour money back into the Treasury.” I’m ready to lick the stamp to send it back.

Before doing that, however, I propose the following caveats: In return for my patriotic act, I should be exempt from the taxation and inflation that will surely come from the increased national debt caused by those who accepted the money from the great new administration. I should not incur the rate increases from utility companies as the moratoriums on shut-offs expire. I propose to be exempt from costs of health care, feeding and housing associated with thousands of daily illegal immigrants that this new administration is accepting, and finally any costs coming from a looming cold war with China and/or Russia, as this administration proceeds to stoke the flames of hate with them.

In the event my costs over the next four years of this administration do not eclipse the value of my stimulus money, consider my check to be in the mail!
