Let's see, which part of this don't I understand?
The extra spending is supposed to get the corp. America wealthier and happier by raising their revenue and accordingly boosting their stock prices translating to more inflation which makes the poor consumer, poorer?! What am I missing here?
Ah, I get it...it's addressing the Valentine's day upcoming purchases or maybe lazy chair for father's day or...well might as well, since $800 for an starving family of 5 with 1 bread winner will translate to how many meals again?

Get a clue.Quote from MarketMasher:
Just very correct.
I live in a world called REALITY.
Do CEO's and their top executives not make hundreds of times more than their worker-bee drones?
Is that not reality?
Why do you think a CEO can make more taking a dump in the Executive Washroom than the average worker makes in a day?
It is because they offer hundreds, if not thousands of times more value than the muddling masses.
The money to be distributed needs to be concentrated into able hands where it can be judiciously used - not given to idiots who will consume it all in a day.
What fantasy-land do you live in?
Gentlemen, may I suggest that if the GOP and Prez Bush didn't abandon the core values of Republicanism, we wouldn't be facing the prospects we are now?
And look at the slate of idiotic GOP candidates running now for '08....please.
Because of the fundamental breakdown of the GOP and the absolute and total incompetency of Bush/Cheney, the die is cast that we now are guaranteed to face tax hikes and more nanny state edicts.
The GOP screwed their base. They are in disarray. They are a train wreck.
Then again, could Democrats possibly screw things up any worse than Bush did?
Ron Paul's ability to begin the TRUE movement of a viable third party alternative to this cancerous two-party system of ours is the only hope we have to return to a free society - free of social and economic imposition over the potential of the individual.
But will the sheeple masses awaken in time?

Quote from BondTrader50:
How much crack does 800 get you?
Is crack figured into the GDP?
You joke, but the drug trade is an integral part of our nation's economy. Our policies are designed to maximize revenue to the government from illicit drug sales and not to minimize drug usage by individuals as the propoganda machine tells us.
Call me a conspiracy theorist and I'll call you blind, but regardless, controlling the drug trade and making sure uncle sam continues to be the largest profiteer from black-market drug sales, then laundering the money through US corporations, is one of the few tactics to put money onto the American balance sheets that wasn't printed out of thin air and allows America to maintain an unspoken edge in the world economy.
As far as economic stimulus, getting everyone in the hood to buy $800 worth of crack may not be such a bad idea.
