I agree with both Elysium and ezkcdude. Temporary tax cuts or "stimulus checks" are pretty silly (though I won't refuse it if it's what they settle on). Whenever I think about those, the first thing that comes to mind is the episode of Futurama where Fry buys 300 cups of coffee with his rebate and saves the world -- so I guess some good can come out of it.

Regarding the actual means of stimulating the economy, job creation and home buying are the two keys I see, so hopefully the final bill addresses those. I'd love to see some healthy first-time credits again as I'm currently in the same boat Elysium is.

90% of statistics can be made to say anything 50% of the time.
