The U.S. Government stimulated me today, to the tune of $1,200. Needless to say, I have sacked it away so the terrorists can win. Of course, looked at another way I just spent several years of annual salary all in one fell swoop, buying the house. I am very curious if the plan will work. I'm sure models have been done with all sorts of bogus assumptions showing how much of a boost the economy will get, but even if we discount those, it's still a hell of a lot of cash hitting people's pockets all at once.
