The first economic stimulus package was a joke. I didn't get a check, but my well-to-do relatives living in coastal California, who live nicely off investments, had their check proudly displayed on their kitchen counter.

Either way, compelling people to buy ever more crap that they don't need is not the way to keep this ship afloat.
