That economic stimulus package (mentioned here just a couple of hours ago) got turned around quick in the House! Looks like we’ll be seeing some cash. I just want to know when they want it back.
Daniel Gross at Newsweek doesn’t think it will work. He’s got some great background referenced, including American Century Investment survey that shows only about 27% of Americans plan to spend this money.
There was at least one sane sounding voice in Congress:
“We have to remember that every dollar being spent on the stimulus package is being borrowed from our children. And our children’s children,” said Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., who voted against the bill.
There’s gotta be a better way.
