The stimulus package checks will do nothing for the economy. It isn't new money that was created by producing something. It is a welfare check that is being funded by the government taking money from tax payers. What is sad, is that many people that pay taxes, will not get a check and all people that do not pay taxes, will get a check.

I think basic ecomonics should be mandatory at all levels of education. There are some truly economically ignorant people in this country. Unfortunately, none of the 3 Presidential candidates understand basic economics either.

You want government to make a difference, cut taxes and reduce spending. That will do more for the economy and individual lives than a welfare check.
