actually no its not a joke. consumer spending makes up 70% of our economy. giving that consumer money to spend is a situmlus. 300 doesnt seem like a lot to you but times that by 300,000,000 and it adds up.

which is what makes it income redistribution and not "tax relief" and increases the problem of government overspending that has helped contribute to our issues in the first place.

The good news is the people who don't pay taxes will definately spend it all anyway, probably on the lottery which will send more people to college.

I'm donating to charity. I owe it anyway.

personally, I see this as a feel-good band aid...what happens after the 300 bucks are spent...?

you know it won't take long...if folks are smart, it will go toward debt or savings...which does not help the economy...

and what happened the "free-market" folks...I wonder what they're thinking about this...what happened to letting the free market take care if itself...?

do you bitch just to bitch?


if it goes towards peoples debt or savings that will help the economy. if anything, it will boost consumer confidence.

and giving some tax money back does not interfere in a free market. its simply a government giving money back to the people. even free market folks, such as myself, knows this is not an interference. now if the government decides to spend 100 billion on dow stocks, then yes we have a problem.

I could go on, but you'll just find something else to bitch about

if it goes to debt it gives the banks money in hand which they will lend out immediately. Stimulating the economy.

I am a free market folk. I hate this idea. I'm just trying to get to the bright side.

The problem with the economy is in stupid decisions by banks to hand out reckless loans.

KNOW THY CUSTOMER!

This is a bank bailout disguised as "Tax Relief"

yeah, that's it, just bitching to bitch...fuck finding real solutions...

screw skeptical thinking...

I guess you're no longer a free market fella, now it seems you rely on the gov't to solve your problems....

interesting indeed...

seriously, how is 300 bucks per taxpayer really going to help...?

the real problem with the economy is that it's not a science, and shit sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
300$ is not much but it is some money, make the best of it.

I am. I'm happy to have the choice and I'm donating it, it is going to help after all the first one did, this one will too, It just doesn't fix the problem. We're still in the hole for 9 Trillion+ and it's getting bigger every day. The buisnesses in this country want to grow to fast and too recklessly so when they over extend and take too big of a risk, this is the result. It was the same issue in the aftermath of the tech stocks boom.
