So if your stimulus check "went into your account and was used like normal", does that mean you spent the money and it went into the economy?

Ok, this is for sure my last post on the thread, but I want to respond to this.
I did read your post, I talked about the stimulus check as the stimulus check is also a way of keeping money in the economy. What is the difference if the government lowers your taxes, or takes your tax, and gives money back???? No difference, it has the same effect, more money in the economy.
As far as my check went, my spending did not increase because of it, nor do I know anyone who said, "wow, I can go buy this now."
Matchbox - If I see wrong information, I am going to try and correct it. I am a tax accountant (business taxes) and know that most people don't care about taxes aside from wanting to pay less. Taxes didn't get us into this mess, and they are not going to get us out.
It has a bad few years for the republican party mostly because the state of our economy. Not that it is Bush's fault, or the republicans, but it is easy for people to point the finger at the man at the top.
Ok, now I am done on here. Maybe someone should payban me to raise money for the site as I probably pissed alot of you off
