Economic Stimulus Package
Does it help?
Recently congress passed an unprecedented “economic stimulus package” to remove the fear of economy slipping into the recession. The economic stimulus package is supposed to bring confidence in consumers and keep economy away from recession.

Many believe the move from government has come late and may not help the cause. By the time checks will reach to common person, economy might have touched the outer boundaries of recession.

Then the question comes this $300 or $600 check, how it is going to keep economy away from slipping into recession. People with bad habits are going to blow money on cigarettes, drugs, lotteries, the end result more money to state and federal government.

What would have been better idea is to grant low tax bracket to poor and middle class, for couple of years, counties providing relief in property taxes, lenders providing extension for low interest rates and good subsidy to industries for keeping jobs in US.

These small checks hardly make any dent into economy, these are good for lifting consumer confidence and good for vote policy. This sure saves government from tough questions from press and public.
