I think this is a bad idea all around. I don’t want higher taxes, and another check is only going to be saved or put to debt like the last one.

I just got done reading on another article about the second stimulus check, and they said that they might put those in unemployment benefits and foodstamps? I don’t think so. I’d rather get a check than giving it to someone that is depending on foodstamps and people that are depending on unemployment check! If they really want to feed their family, get out there and get a job. And stop having kids.

I saw your tweet on this. I read earlier a post on the same subject from @taxgirl on twitter. think her site is http://www.taxgirl.com

I would like one, and hope it does materialize. We are happy to be getting 5.8% cost of living increase on Jan 1st with SSI checks. For most seniors and those who are disabled the increase amounts to $60 more per month.

Whatever action the government takes, will be largely independent of all of our opinions of "what they should do". Since their decision is an uncontrollable, let’s have the serenity to change the things that we can control. The only thing we have direct control over is our own personal finances. So let's put some of our energy into developing our own finances instead of just worrying about the state of the entire economy or what the government will do.

I agree, we really need to adjust our attitudes about money, from one of reliance on credit – to one of saving, thrift and responsibility. A check won’t help do that.
