What did you do with your STIMULUS check?
By RP Staff | August 5, 2008
You have to wonder where George Bush got the idea for the little blue check that was going to give the American economy a boost to make it through the next few months. We could only imagine the sophomoric jokes snaking through the White House as Bush’s advisers discussed their prescription for this jolt of energy. The stimulus check payments of 600 or 1200 dollars was to alleviate–or rather help us manage our economic dysfunction, but three months after the first batch of checks were distributed, the economy is having as hard of a time staying up as ever. Going into this we all new that effects of the check was not going to last forever, but it surely would have carried us through the summer, right?
Now that August is here, kids will soon be going back to school thereby inducing shopping sprees that many retailers are hoping will help them stay afloat until Christmas. For the rest of us, it’s another day, another dollar.
As you can tell we have money on our minds today here at RP and because we know you do to do, and are probably dying to vent, we’re giving you a platform.
Tuesday’s talking point is what happened to your stimulus check?
Did it dry up like a dream deferred?
Did you spend it all at the local store?
Or did you put in the bank and now your portfolio’s about to explode?
