Economy Stimulus Package.

This is like reparations except for everyone. 😐
Going by that.....
I will get $1800 just for being married with two kids. 🙂
I wonder if it is tax free? 😆
Give your reasons why this is a great idea or a bad idea.

Every time I start getting a grasp on economics, those geniuses on capital hill come up with some solution to today's economic problems and it bamboozles me...It's really tough on my young, developing mind.

Basically. Taxes should be so negligible that tax refunds should never be an issue (or existent). It creates a wasteful government situation of managing money (usually poorly) and doling it out to various special-interest groups.
Minimal taxes to fund far fewer gov't programs, and to subsidize those beneath living wage. The rest should have never left our hands in the first place.
At the risk of being disagreed with and pwned, I believe it will do exactly as its designed to do.
I believe the economy will be greatly stimulated and it will have a lasting effect on the economy. I figure the economy will start to rise again after these millions of checks start going out. This rise may just be a catalyst t o start another economic upturn for the next several years. If that occurs, then these actions were effective, no matter what type of pessimism is thrown at these actions....*cough*digimark*cough* 😛
I understand the logic behind this legislation. Literally billions of dollars could be lost even if our economy's growth is just slightly slowed, much less going into a recession. If this money DOES jump start the economy to a nice HEALTHY upturn, then literally billions of dollars in differential growth would occur, possibly generating much more than just a $130 billion in a differential growth.
Of course, nay sayers my attribute the growth as non-related if there isn't a sudden spike in the economy.

Economies rise and fall. This particular period will probably go up, because all estimates of the recession have been exaggerated due to public opinion.
I have no doubt that gov't actions can help stimulate the economy (though they are far too quick to take credit or shift blame without proper causal analysis of economic forces). But my issue has always been that the economy itself isn't the ideal system of economics.
So yeah, in the current system it's probably a good thing. Both ideologically and personally, I'm for giving as much back to the people as possible. But that doesn't mean I can blanket the entire enterprise with my approval.

Dude, I wasn't serious when I zinged you. You do not have to explain your position to me. Okay, wait; yes, it was necessary to explain things to me because I like to talk about this stuff.

Yes, I believe we are being taxed on it, so don't expect the full $600.00 if you're single.I'm blowing mine on an Asian hooker.
WHAT!!! Sources?
Why an asian hooker? PM me if you would like like more information [/dadudemonpimpin']

The last I heard it was $300 if you are single. The House has cut it in half. By the time it is all over, it will be a lot less.
The link I posted was yesterday. It said it was approved for $600 for single and $1200 for couple.

It's what I heard; I just did some research of my own; what I heard was wrong. We get the full amount, whatever that ends up being.Never had an Asian.
The house and senate passed the bill that said $600 for an individual who makes between $3000 and $75000 and $1200 for couples who make less than $150000 plus $300 for each child for both types. We know exactly how much that it will end up being. I highly doubt that Bush would veto this bill after it was passed by such a large majority by congress.
Will the wife know?
