Has there been any upturn in the economy now that most of the stimulus checks have been sent out?

Question

I haven't seen any economic improvement yet, but if anyone else has, I'd like to hear about it

Answer 1

lol no and there will not be one until somebody does something about the price of gas

Answer 2

there was an increase in consumer spending in May

the June reports might say alot about weather it helped

hopefully it wasnt too little too late!!

Answer 3

not exactly.

the stimulus checks are just going to make the economy worse.

the more money that is in the economy

the more prices are going to inflate

and eventually people are going to have to pay for these checks

in tax form, of course.

and most people aren't even spending the money,

they're saving it.

so really

they are doing more harm than good.

but that's my opinion

and sorry about the rant

Answer 4

There was an upturn before the checks went out!

Answer 5

No upturn.  It was a failed promise from the start, but now they have high gas prices to blame for it.

(There's always a scapegoat for every failed government program or initiative.  It's mandatory for keeping one's job).

Answer 6

not in my house...my stimulus check wasnt very stimulating..

Answer 7

The checks are a bandad , it won't really help very much and only for a short time.

Answer 8

Nope. The stimulus checks don't do very much, not to mention most people haven't gotten them. There have been many mistakes with the checks, such as multiple ones being sent to people, or some families never getting theirs. Besides, most people would prefer to save that money than spend it, and such a small amount spent by relatively few people isn't going to help.

Answer 9

Well, judging from the price of gas and the flooding in the Mid-West I would think that there is no such upturn in the near future.

Check with me after the next election....
