More information has come out about the package. I have to wonder, though, is it really a "stimulus" if checks won't be cut until June? We must really be in dire straits if we can wait 5 months for the fix (sarcasm).
It just goes to prove my earlier point that we probably don't really have a problem. Most of the reason people think we do is because of the extra hyperbole produced by a presidential campaign. Somebody is trying to "re-ignite" Clinton's 2002 win with "It's the Economy Stupid." Of course, to run on that platform, then the myrmidons must believe that the economy is bad. So, the candidates preach the economy is bad, the journalist endlessly repeat that the economy is bad, and the lemmings start believing the economy must be bad.
We have been raised to rely too much on experts and not enough on ourselves.
