“That's because this bill was meant to stimulate the economy not help the poor. The money was put in the hands of those they believed would best use it to stimulate the economy. Paying bills and putting the money away for a raining day will not stimulate the economy and is what most likely will happen if the money was given to the wrong people.
Besides, money will go to more people than you said they would, maybe you should read my article and begin to retract your articles you fool! “
The above is the blathering stupidity of a total fool.
The MOST effective way to stimulate the economy would be to have extended the unemployment benefits the GOP stopped. People who have no income do not spend money. That help could also been started NOW not in May like the rebates.
However the real poof that the above comments are from one of the brain dead on JoeUser is that the issue was that the GOP Ignored the Disabled vets. We have the GOP who professes to be supportive of the military and who claim they want to help the economy defeating the very actions that are most likely to provide some help to the economy that their economic policies have brought us to the edge of a recession. At the same time they IGNORE the disabled Vets who have fought for our country.
The GOP are the same people that up to about a month ago were telling us the economy was sound. They lie and then bloc the very actions that may help when they finally acknowledge that the economy is in real trouble. Their Presidential candidate admits he does not have a good understanding of economics and was AWOL from the vote in the Senate on the Economic recovery package. He is the same person who said today he believes the majority agree with his conservative principals. Anyone that believes the majority want to have warmed over Bush for another four years in Iraq or with the economy need to follow the White Rabbet with the gold pocket watch down the hole. They truly live in WONDERLAND!
