Raise your hand if you’re in favor of getting an $800 check from the government – which they want you to spend as quickly as possible – in order to stave off a recession? Thought so.

That’s the word coming from D.C. today. President Bush is expected to announce an economic stimulus program that would include rebates of $800 for individuals and $1,600 for married couples. Of course, there are some exceptions. For individuals, if you make more than $85,000, or $110,000 for couples, you’d be out in the cold.
Maybe I asked the wrong question.

If you don’t want a check from the government to spend on anything you want, raise your hand.

Yeah, about what I thought.
