How can a stimulus check stimulate an economy if things cost 4 times as much? Priced a roast lately? Also, I don’t see this taking care of the needy.

Like I've said before -- it's not going to stimulate anything.  It's just part of the touchy-feely philosophy we have now-a-days.   It has just put us deeper in debt.

Well, I did my part. I didn’t save it in the bank. I stimulated Discount Tire for a set of Michelins. That’s what I was supposed to do..... get the money back into the economy. Too many people didn’t do this and I think the second round will be more if the same. Sky-rocketing prices are cancelling out the benefits of the package.

Absolutely!  Business' have to recoup loses incurred by the government-forced closure (unconstitutional?!) of their business'.

It takes care of votes… Not the needy.

Unfortunately, this is true. They are talking a second wave of checks/direct deposit/debit cards. I will find something to stimulate again.

The first stimulus check I got some shocks and struts for my car.  When the 2nd comes I plan to get the brakes done.

Can’t say we’re not stimulating the economy.... the automotive side of it anyway.
