Checks for $600 Won't Fix Our Economy

Jim Hightower, Hightower Lowdown

America can't shop its way to greatness, and this one-time, government-funded shopping spree won't lead us to a sound economy.

These checks remind me of times in mine and my husbands careers when employers wanted to give employees a one time "bonus" check instead of a salary increase. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people out there that can't see how much difference there is between the two.

It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. It's a six hundred dollar band-aid.

And, yes, I will be depositing my check immediately after it arrives!
