I'm with thornwolf and stellaa on this one. We have a city that needs rebuilding, infrastructure everywhere thats falling apart, and god knows what else going on that the newspapers haven't gotten to our attention yet... And we're sending all our tax dollars to Iraq and Halliburton. I'm not saying Iraq doesn't need our help to rebuild since we're the ones that broke everything. But, sweet jesus, they could spread it around a bit?!?!?! A 300$ check won't go nearly as far as a slew of new construction jobs to fix some roads and bridges and the city of New Orleans. Lets see, groceries for a month, or groceries for the next two years plus rent and everything else..... Bernanke had a bit of a slow start, but I'm inclined to cut him a little slack as he was an academic for so long, this call for congressional action was appropriate and clearly non-partisan.
