Stimulating stimulus, yeah!

Good news for those of you expecting some free money from the government: It's on its way a few days early! whoo!

The Treasury Department announced today that the special tax rebates will arrive five days earlier than the originally scheduled May 2 release date.

Thanks to a faster than expected computer program, 800,000 tax filers daily will get rebates on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. No rebates will be distributed on Thursday, and 5 million payments will be made on Friday.

Overall, the Treasury will distribute more than $110 billion to 130 million taxpayers by July and hopes to get the first $50 billion out by the end of May.
