I will be using mine for gas and groceries. Quit dogging our president and we as people need to do what is right in the eyes of God and get this nation back to where it needs to be.

The less payments you have, the more money you have to save and spend. yeah, well if people use it for paying down debt, it will stimulate the economy in the long run, because paying down debt means reducing the payments you make.

Also, the girls around my office are all saying that are using the check for gas and groceries. I think they check is silly and won't help at all, but hey, since I am getting it I might as well use it wisely, you know.

Stop blaming everything on him and help the rest of America do something to keep our country a great country. Robert, it's not an "advance", meaning that you'll have to pay it back in 2009. It's a tax credit for 2008 that they are giving you in advance, rather than giving you the credit in 2009 when you file your taxes. deschl,

I expect many people have already "spent" their bonus - even before receiving it.

I think it will be enough if everyone puts it back into the economy, but I don't think we should be doing it this way. I think that they should have made the bush tax cuts permanent and reduced more taxes such as gasoline tax and get the states on board to lower property taxes.

I suspect that many responsible people will use it to pay off debts, get current on their mortgage, or save it in their emergency fund." While your "suspicion" may be correct, you vastly overestimate the number of "responsible people" that are in this country. This money will stimulate the economy without a doubt. The questions are 1) will it be enough, and 2) should we being doing it this way? “I am skeptical that this will actually stimulate the economy the way the government thinks it will… I suspect that many responsible people will use it to pay off debts, get current on their mortgage, or save it in their emergency fund.”
