Unnamed private economists say this is a sufficient amount to boost the American economy.

I bet these are the same economist that think that you can just spend your way out of a recession without actually producing anything to sell.

Being a working single male with no kids you assume I will even get one? I probably fill up my tank and whatever I have left buy a couple of day's ration of food.

I pay just enough to break even. I want the interest on that money, not uncle sam.

hubby and I are on a plan to pay the house off-should be debt free soon, all will go to principle paydown.

Probably put it in the bank. I think some large public works projects would be more useful than this.

If they send me a check, it's all going straight into a Money Market account. Nothing like earning 4.61% in a recession.
