More FREEEEEE money! Woo hoo! Forget those measly checks for a few hundred, what we need are 6 digit "rebate" checks! Yeah! Send out a 100k to everybody, that'll turn this economy around. And while they are at it, Congress should outlaw rain on weekends.
Two of the three great lies at the same time! I am from the government and I am here to help you. The check is in the mail
These checks were a fantastic idea, but how is spending them on gas or groceries going to boost the economy? I really need more than 1500 dollars.

For those in the real world, the pre-1998 method is what's really going on. The US never really left the '01 recession, its just been stagnating. Another reality is that the Americans are in their last throes in Iraq with the military taking 40 year olds and felons.
