How much has the Economic Stimulus really cost us?

Question

There is no free lunch.

Answer 1

It was a rebate.

This means that it was your money to begin with.

You just got it back because our tax was reduced this one time.

But it makes you think....why would we get our money back if there are deficits in all government budgets?  Most people dont know a thing about money so they dont ask any questions.

Answer 2

It has stolen the time people could have had to prepare for the chaos that is coming . It would have better if the Gov had been honest with the people .
