New Stimulus Package?

[domaingamer]

I prefer tax cuts over a stimulus plan, but this is a pretty extraordinary situation that may well call for both.

I would have the same opinion either way.

You said that you wouldn't get it anyway because of being C13 and giving it to the Trustee. So if you are C13, would it matter which package you were referring to, since the answer would probably be the same if you are still C13?

Cali,

I wasn't referring to the old stimulus, but the new one.

i actually would love to get a check. Last package we got i didn't get my $600 because i owed money to the irs and they took it.

All this stimulas wouldn't be so bad in the "old economy". If the money was borrowed from American investers and taxpayers spent the money on American made goods and services helping American jobs then it would probably give a nice shot in the arm and turn things around.

We are borrowing most of it from China so they are getting paid most of interest and we are buying Chinese made goods. I bet most of the last stimulas money is at mainland China by now plus the interest the US Treasury is sending them.

This is why the 1st and latest stimulas plans are useless.

So if you were getting money you would have a different opinion?
And not all C13 filers lost their stimulus.

I think it's a horrible idea. We are already way too much in debt. The govt needs to look at what we have all learned.

Plus, myself, and most everyone in the 13 plan will not even get to benefit from it. It goes to the Trustee.

I don't watch that show, but I always get it when it is funny.

A couple of you replyers are seriously satirically challenged. Do you watch the Dave Lettermen show and keep saying "I don't get it?"

Lets be honest. A new stimulas package will do one thing if it is done quickly. Help with retail christmas sales. One of the biggest items looked at for the economy is consumer confidence. With slow or shrinking sales the figures look bad. When the figures look bad they end up getting worse. A good christmas season will help inflate ( though artificially) those numbers and basically give the incoming president a little honeymoon time once in office. Personally I know I could use the money, do I think its a good idea? probably not, but I'm not going to turn it down either.

Being on the BK forum doesn't mean you don't know Finance or Economics.

And I hope the stimulus doesn't pass.

Of course not! I'm posting in a Bankruptcy Forum!

Explain why you think whatever is not going to happen will never happen.
