ParticipantHey, I made barely over $75k when I lived in SD and let me tell you, I really felt “low income”.
Yes, kewp, giving the money to the low income folks tends to have a more immediate impact on the economy. Didn’t we all learn that in lower division Economics courses… money mulitiplier anyone?
Kev374, I think you’re missing the real point. The goverment isn’t “*stealing* from those who strive to save their money”. You aren’t paying for this! This is all debt financed, baby! Our children will be footing the bill on this one.
What the hell is the matter with our country?! Deficit funded rebates to the poor & 75 basis point cuts in Fed Funds rates in one week? The government is telling us all to ignore the inevitable down-turn & borrow more money!!
I’m no economist, but exactly how long can we support an entire economy on debt spending? How has a typically non-mainstream guy like Ron Paul become a voice of reason in this consumer debt-driven madness?

The top 20% will get 27.1% of the stimulus money, while the bottom 20% gets only 6.5%. That’s “socialism”? That’s “robin hood”? Oh, how the wealthy suffer in this country! They always get the short end of the stick. It’s almost enough to make you quit your six figure job and go on welfare, right?

ParticipantConsidering the bottom 20% pays very little to no taxes, the “tax rebate” to that 20% is actually free money.
So, yes, that is in fact “robin hood”.
