Umm, thanks George

Yesterday Billy noticed that the US Treasury had deposited $600 into our BofA account. How nice, we thought. But... uh, are we obliged to give it back? If so, how do we do that? Did everyone else have to 'request' the cash, or did it also just magically appear in the bank? The reason we are confused about receiving it is... we just told government in April that we are living in Australia (and therefore were not obliged to pay them any tax)... so why, we ask, should we receive the economic stimulus payment? And if we were eligible for the payment, why didn't we get $1200? It's a mystery...

I guess they just want me to have some spending money when I visit the US in June. Bless Georgie's heart.
