The "stimilus" package has nothing to due with stimulating the economy itself but is really the governments best guess of how they can prevent having to spend this money later.If they were to let things be more companies would have folded (or at least called it quits) and the government unemployment rolls would have exploded so drastically that they would have easily have doubled the monies they gave away in unemployment claims, food stampt, and all those other programs.This is what I believe is the real drive behind this and the government is going to get a little upset that their ploy did not work and take it out on those of us that have found a way to make money.
