A Birthday Stimulus
"I bought a plane ticket to Chicago off of priceline.com for $199 roundtrip, then a train ticket to Springfield for $65 roundtrip from Amtrak (with a AAA discount). I used the rest for a large poster frame and reprints of photos to make a birthday collage for my bf. As a graduate student, I only got $300 for my stimulus."

The Stimulus
In January, Congress approved $152 billion in economic stimulus checks for millions of American households, intended to boost the economy and avert a recession. Just how this money will be spent remains to be seen. We hope this website helps shed some light on where the stimulus money is going.
