Comment: No, it is another example of the federal government micro-managing the economy. Yes, it has stimulated sales - that's what happens when you provide free money. On the other hand, the money could have been spent on a 1)vital piece of infrastructure that would provide short term jobs and long term benefits to the community or 2)a specific energy project (for example, natural gas, wind or solar farm distribution infrastructure) or 3)return some money to the taxpayers and let them decide how to spend it. from Pensacola / FL by Rick
