I shuddered at the cost of shutters!
"Having no debt, I purchased something my wife wanted in our bedroom sitting area - white shutters. I couldn't believe it but three of them ate up all of the check and cost me a few hundred. Hope this sufficiently stimulates the economy. Of course this whole idea violates the basic economic theory of the broken window... worth googling "Parable of the broken window" if you're interested... "

Nobody with half a brain thinks Dubya's handout was meant to be an "economic stimulus." It was an election year ploy. As such, it is yet another failure on his part.
