Interesting.

No one can remember the last time Congress enacted two major economic stimulus packages in one year. But 2008 may see a sequel to the $100 billion worth of checks that started filling individuals' bank accounts in early spring.

Imagine that bush opposes it.

"President Bush currently opposes such a move"

partly, that, and we are all broke and used the stimulus to pay some bills. :grin_nod:

"Surveys are finding that a major chunk of the money already doled out is going into savings instead of spending."

half of mine was saved the other spent partly on bills.

Because it didn't do much for the economy (that was what it was for) since most people put it into savings.  Why spend another 100 billion for an economic stimulus plan when it doesn't do much for the economy.

If people put it in there savings does'nt mean that they won't spend it.

But our economy needs the help now.  Thats the problem.

I understand that, believe me, but something this big is not going ot happen over night.

This whole stimulus thing was a bandaid.... It's not going to fix anything.. Sure. lets just add to an even bigger deficit.

I guess the government just hoped that we would but that 100 billion back into the economy this year.
