Checks going out in June? Seems like the economy needs a boost now! I mentioned on another site That I think they should release this money via tax returns. Why not an instant tax return rebate? I expect to file in Feb. and get my return well before May or June. Quicker money equals quicker help and it gives people incentive to file early. And nothing needs to be sent out send out the checks. Is the stimulus package a good idea? Hey, I'd love to get some dough! But could this be used for a better purpose? We're talking billions given out here! School funding maybe? Transportation/infrastructure? Small business loans or grants? What really got us into this mess to begin with? Let's look at fixing that rather than throwing money at a band-aid that may not really fix anything. I think we’d be due $1800. Checks going out in June? Seems like the economy needs a boost now!

But good point. @raymond - welcome back and the key is to MAKE SURE it goes to that debt! :) @kirk - thanks for the comment, but ugh, sorry to hear. @Lynnae - You WOULD be simulating the economy by giving more money to VISA because they'll put that to other investments possibly cooking up new jobs elsewhere - or at least that's how I try to envision it. :) @mmj – yea, I hear some people are banking on it; unfortunately I read a post from Pinyo saying that people are spending it before it is even 100% in the bag; and that doesn’t work out so well.

The visa bill would be gone, and we'd make a little dent in our student loan. We wouldn't be helping out the economy, but we'd be helping our own well-being a lot! We would get $1800.

From some of the polls I have seen, looks like a majority of the people are banking it, so that would not help much. Of course the polls don't have good samplings. I bet that those on the lower side of the income scale, who should really be saving the cash, will be the ones spending the money at a greater percentage. This group probably does not go to news sites such as CNN and MSNBC and participate in online polls. We are due $1800 here.
