To be honest, I don't think it will do much for the economy. A lot of people will blow it on consumer goods, just like the government wants them to. But just as many will save it or use it to retire debts. I look at it as a one time bonus, and plan on saving it. I agree with David... One day the bill will be due, and I want to be prepared! <em>Patrick's last blog post..<a href='http://cashmoneylife.com/2008/02/19/choice-of-easy-and-right/' rel="nofollow">The Choice of What is Right, and What is Easy</a></em> Very nice analysis.
