October 21, 200817 yr Looks of talk about doing another Stimulus to "spark" the economy. If it didn't work they first time not sure why they think it will the second time. What do you guys feel about it? Good idea or Bad idea.
October 21, 200817 yr I still haven't heard all of the details with this second type of check, but I tend to agree that if it didn't work the first time....
October 21, 200817 yr What are all the negatives of these checks for us personally? Other than the obvious of more record national debt.
October 21, 200817 yr If this second check will be more money, then I'm for it. The first one wasn't really enough to do anything with. I spent about 2/3 of the money on gas and the remaining 1/3 on some more groceries. If they want people to spend the money on stuff to help the economy, then they need to deliver the checks before Christmas-time, preferably before Black Friday. More money in people's pockets at that time will give people an excuse to by more gifts. If it's just another $300, then all I'm going to spend it on is gas.
October 21, 200817 yr ^ I think that would help alot...If people got this money before Christmas or in time for black friday then you better believe every bit of it would be spent on gifts...Problem with that is some people are still waiting for their first check..

October 21, 200817 yr While I wouldn't mind the money, I think it's a bad idea. We can't afford it IMO.
October 21, 200817 yr Author While I wouldn't mind the money, I think it's a bad idea. We can't afford it IMO. What the difference, we couldn't afford the first one.
October 21, 200817 yr What the difference, we couldn't afford the first one.:lol: True, but things are even worse now, so...
October 21, 200817 yr What the difference, we couldn't afford the first one. So ignoring that the first time didn't help much, so maybe we shouldn't ignore it this time as well.
October 21, 200817 yr It wont be in the form of a check and it certainly wont be here during Bush's final days. They are talking about extending unemployment benefits, giving out more food stamps and there may be possibility of more stimulus money for taxpayers. I could use another $2100. Bring it.
