Is it about time? Too little too late? Or will the economy be doing just fine by the time they send the frickin' checks?

I'm all for them. Send me all my tax money back! If I were President I would abolish the current system and privatize everything. I'd have more money to invest and send my kids to private schools.

Of course none of this is realistic, because most people do not know how to manage money. When a presidential candidate ask "Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?" and actually think the government should make them better off.

I'm no economist, but recessions are a natural part of economic cycles, which in the log run are for the better of the economy.
