Does it makes sense to give a stimulus payment to people who already have money?
Really, if they already have money in the bank, where do you think their stimulus payment will go? Straight into the bank. Wouldn't it make more sense to give that money to people who don't have any money? And also, if I have to spend my stimulus payment on gas, how will that help our economy? It only helps Saudi Arabia's economy.

LOL I absolutely love that baby picture!

Yeah, and the money for our economic stimulus package is being borrowed from China. So then Americans will go buy crappy products at Wal-Mart that are made in China. Whose economy are we REALLY stimulating? Not ours!

The US economy is DEAD! All the "stimulus" package will do ,is make the corpse twitch! Money it self doesn't make the economy work. It's the FLOW of money from hand to hand in a secure marketplace. What we have now is the belief that if some money is thrown into the mess,it'll be better. Not gonna happen! That's the same as thinking that the trees make the wind blow!

Everything republicans do is a bunch of BS. None of it makes sense. If anything they did made sense we wouldn't need to waste the money to do this stupid thing either. They know the rednecks love when they get a little love here & there. So mission accomplish will last them for a while. A check in the mail will last them for a while. They all need to have their heads examined.

The thing is, even if you put the money in the bank, it's still going into the economy, because the bank uses that money to make loans. Would it have a greater effect if you bought something with it? Yes. But it's still going to contribute.

The sitmulous payment is a joke. Nothing at all is accomplished. Nothing.

Mine will go into the bank. It won't make me want to go out and shop! Our school district is sending out letters to ask people to donate their checks to the schools to help outset the budget cuts...... I think the people who really need it will probably pay rent or electric bills with it. Not go out and fill up their car or see a movie or buy some new boots or video games!

1 - No. 2a - Bank. 2b - Fun. 2c - Essentials. 3 - No, they're ALREADY getting some free money! 4 - It will help our economy when you use the gas in your car to get yourself to work and back and to go shopping and return with your food and goodies. You see, we're a commercial nation and moving money around (aka spending) is what makes the system work as well as it does.

It's wrong to give none to those who need it most, and more to those who need it the least. Instead of a stimulus program, it's just another rebate to the wealthier taxpayers who voted for Bush.
