I smell a rat !! Given all the comments here from those who legitimately appied for coupons, including myself, and never received them, I think it's time for our illustrious government to investigate who's scammin' the system. How convenient !! The government pays millions of dollars to some outsourced vendor to produce and distribute these cards and then simply forgets about it. What checks and balances were in place to assure the vendor did there job instead of just pocketing a major portion of the money. Also, I'm cynical enough to suspect that there may be a cottage industry that has evolved within the postal service to rip off scads of cards (the envelopes are containing them are easily identifiable) and sell them on a black market. There are simple FAR TOO MANY of the same story--applied for the cards, but never got them--for there not to be some corruption involved !
