I don't understand why. . .
. . .there was a need for an expiration date for these coupons. If there had to be an expiration date. . . well, how about 2/18/09, when everyone that needs a box should have one by then anyway (if they want to keep watching TV)? It's sad that just about everything involving the government has to be so complicated. It's also sad that they can't extend the expiration, or exchange unused cards.
I was one of the first to sign up for--and get--my coupons. Three months went by without any local retailers having boxes for sale. Why should I be punished for being pro-active about being ready for digital TV?
