Has the stimulus checks help the economy?

Question

Mines melted away with my bills. I don't feel stimulated at all.

Answer 1

It helped me....

Answer 2

No, it was a stupid stunt. Deficit funded rebates are not the answer. Also, I don't know anybody who's received one yet.

Answer 3

No...It was a gimmick to get the US further into dept so the Dollar would fall flat...and then they would introduce the Amero between Canada, Mexico, and the USA.

Answer 4

HELPING PEOPLE WITH IT IS A RELATIVE PROPOSITION.  WARREN BUFFETT, BILL GATES, BILL CLINTON, GEORGE BUSH(S), ET AL SURELY DIDN'T NEED IT. BUT THEY GOT IT. THE LOWER DOWN THE ECONOMIC LADDER ONE GOES ALSO THE MORE IRRELEVANT THE STIMULUS GETS.  LIKE YOURSELF, IT WENT TO PAY FOR HIGHER GAS PRICES, UTILITY BILLS, USURIOUS INTEREST RATES ON CREDIT CARDS, AND HIGHER FOOD COSTS.  WE DIDN'T WIN WITH THE STIMULUS.  WE LOST BECAUSE, AS IT REPORTED ON CNN, THE STIMULUS WAS BUILT INTO THE INCREASES IN THE COST OF LIVING.

Answer 5

Yes it actually brought the market higher. Even if you are using it to pay bills you are still spending it and that is what will bring the economy back.

Answer 6

I would say no because it only helped out for a month

Answer 7

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Answer 8

It helped me afford a nice trip to Florida.  Thank you Mr. Bush.

Answer 9

Retail sales improved following the stimulus payments.  The full effect of stimulating the economy will take some time.

Their are no quick overnight fixes to the collapsing mortgage industry.

Even if you used it to pay bills or debt, it still increased how much money you have, making it more possible to buy other things.

Answer 10

Very little, It went into the gas tank.

Answer 11

It got sucked right up with inflation.

Answer 12

Nope, ours just went to pay bills....

Answer 13

What would stimulate you?
