I decided to start my own political party!

In this great nation so much of the burden to keep the government afloat falls on the taxpayer. When more money is needed for anything i.e.(wars, sinking economies due to layoffs, bailing out Wall Street, etc.) the working taxpayer is the one who flips the bill for it. It's as if this nation has a never ending piggy bank. So yes finally, something that the taxpayer can really benefit from. Although, I agree many Americans spend what they do not have I believe the recent chain of events making Americans vunlerable (increasing gas prices, high foreclosures, layoffs, etc.) has open the eyes of many Americans who are in awe that this is happening in America. So I believe people will save more in the years to come due to these vulnerabilities that have practically happened over night. Actually, I believe the Economic Relief Program will help the economy.

I have seen so many news reports about a pending recession which just makes everyone spend less. Short term fixes will work for a short time, but I would hope that someone could come up with a long term solution for this country and I don't think the current administration (including Congress) has any idea what to do.

I completely agree; this is no long term solution. At the same time, it's not being billed as one. The stimulus plan, combined with the Fed rate cut, may do next to nothing to save or even slightly help the economy in six months time, but there's no question the combined factors saved the stock market last week.
