We''re screwed! Thanks GW!

This is pathetic. The government writes bad checks to "stimulate" the economy. The most BROKE institution on the face of the Earth is the United States! We as a people are nine-thousand-billion (nine trillion) dollars in debt, and we look to the borrower of that money for HELP? Unbelievable.

Well yeah that happens when you elect INCOMPETENT People, hand THEM a balanced Budget and a SURPLUS and THEY proceed to Borrow to give Tax Breaks and run a War that NEVER had to be... yeah those things happen. The Stimulus was needed but BORROWING it is really stupid! Sieg Heil Bush

The government has now shown us how nice it would be if they didn''t take our money. If we voted for libertarians like Ron Paul across the country, this euphoria could be permanent.

It might have helped but with the cost of everything mine was gone the next week.

The stimulus package does what it was designed to do - put off the inevitable recession (at best) until after Bush leaves office. You can''t argue with the definition of a recession (two quarters of negative growth?), but supporters/oilmen can make excuses forever about why Bush "didn''t cause it."

Gosh, I''m sure glad those checks saved our economy. Why just yesterday we saw the magnificent impact they made on the stock market. Keep up the good work GW, by December we should ALL be dead broke.

The Bush stimulated, amounts to pissing on a forest fire.

The ridiculous stimulus checks issued under the authority of this countires most ridiculous president ever, won''t work at all. It fattened the oil companies pocket though, because that is right where it''s going.

Econimic Waves! Just wait a month. The same people will say that it did not do much. Only Govenment agencies and some phony ecomomists will say for it. And even if it did some good for a couple of weeks, it has dried out already in the sand dunes of gas prices. People has bought gas station gift cards, and the money has been shipped in big barges to OPEC. Thanks for the great enonomic idea from the President. Who says he is not an idea man.

You have got to be kidding me. What a load of bull. That stimulus check needed another zero to really make a difference.

My check stimulated my bank account. There are some nice antique hotwheels on E-Bay I may bid on and $600 may get me 2 or 3.

Sounds like bull, my check was sucked up in gas. All we did was give the oil companies more profits.
