Did that stimulus package pass?

Because I had less Federal Income tax come out of my check then usual. It was only like $5 less but unusual because my paycheck for the 1st of the month has been the same for awhile now. If this is the stimulus package I have to wonder how they think they are going to stimulate the economy with an extra $5 a month!

Yes, it passed but that is not what you are seeing on your paycheck. :-)

yeah, the $5 in your check isn't the stimulus package. Your taxable income actually changes slightly at the start of the new year until you max out your medicad deductions (I believe that is the deduction) so that is what you are seeing.
