"it is what it is"

And it is really stupid.  The last two years of playing games with stimulus payments and now with child credits is frustrating to say the least.  If the government is just going to piss money away, they could at least make it entertaining for the rest of us to watch.  How about announcing each day that at such and such a time, they are going to drive 6 dump trucks loaded with hundred dollar bills down the freeway and drop their load at random spots on the freeway.  At least you could have fun watching the local news every night while folks are chasing after the trucks to grab as many bills as they can.  Maybe to make it more interesting, they could drop the cash from helicopters, just to get the cash to blow around a little more.🚁
