The Senate is closing in on a deal for a $811 billion "stimulus" package.
It is simplistic to ask, what if they just "gave" the money to the American people?
There are 300,000,000 or so Americans. $811 billion divided by 300 million equals $2703.33 per person.
Would that help our economy as much as, more than or less than the "stimulus" package?
I don't know, I'm just thinking aloud.

The problem with just giving away the money, as Bush did in his tax rebates, is there is no guarantee that the people will spend it. No spending = no help to the economy.
