I do not believe this "stimulus" package is going to help the economy. Unfortunately, this downturn will probably have to play itself through for some time to come. Giving $500 to each person (even if they were not just going to do the paycheck thing and actually give folks $500, is not going to help. In the scheme of things, $500 is not a lot of money. What I would like to see is more home buying incentives, more actual help to the folks who are losing their homes - mortgage forgiveness, lower rates, etc.. But I am sure some of this stimulus plan has money earmarked in more pork so that the banks can afford to run more super bowl ads. I love the photo with the story.

If they were, you would think that somewhere deep down, something would click and some kind of journalistic instinct they had when they were writing for their school paper would make them ask a halfway decent question.
