Apparently there was an NPR piece about how the government was targeting people who would "waste" their stimulus payment on paying down credit cards rather than buying something with it. So the IRS would spend their rebate for them. One couple got a snowblower. Another couple got an air conditioner. As to the latter, the husband was thrilled but the wife was annoyed because not only did they not get cash, their electric bill would go up.
Alas, the report aired on April 1.
