No, not sarcasm. Yeah it needs money to run, but **** this 20-50% (or whatever the scale goes up to) that they get from people...

If by "help" you mean "increase inflation", then yes.

I think people will spend most of it because they will see the magic word of:

SALE

all weekend for the next three weeks.

I think that's the problem and why it won't work; most people aren't going to squander the money. Most people will keep it or pay bills, both of which doesn't stimulate the economy as much as squanderring it.

I will do my part to protect our economy by squandering my stimulus.
So hard to decide what to spend it on. Whatever it is I will make sure it is some I don't need.

Edit:
$1200 should just about cover gettomg one of these and feeding it for a month.

The dog not the toy... or maybe, both he'll need something to play with.
