Am I overreacting?

I just received a notice today from the IRS notifying me that I will shortly receive “a notice and additional information shortly before the payment is made” about the economic stimulus payment we’re all going to receive. So how much did this mass mailing cost us?

You're absolutely right to be outraged.

It's basically a paid political announcement -- they don't only want you to get the economic stimulus payment, but they want to remind you (at least twice, according to this) who is bring you this payment. The only difference is that we're the ones paying for ie.
