Stimulate what?
"I spent my stimulus check on food and clothing for my son and I. It didn't go far. Of course, because I am a single mother with a low income job, I didn't get as much as others. How's that for sense?"

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.

Actually, since you have a low income job, you got more than a lot of folks who paid a heck of a lot more in taxes than you did. Some of those people got nothing back for all the taxes they paid in.
Didn't you also get the extra $300, just for having a kid?
Come on now, don't look a gift horse in the mouth!

kernal-don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.
I got $600-but seeing as how my gas is now running $100 a week and I make not even twice that a week....
A gift horse? Pshaw!

That's me pissing on you. Because you complain about free money. Yes, you paid less into the system and you got the same reward. Giving free money to people who complain about getting it..."how's that for sense?"

only an idiot with no grasp of economics would call the stimulus checks "free money". Haven't you yet learned there are no free lunches? *tsk, tsk*
