How much money will the Federal Govt make from the stimulus package that is set forth?
Not a dime. First of all, all that will happen at first, is that those who desperately need the cash will pay down existing bills, no extra tax money there for IRS. Then those further up the income chain will put some cash away for the rain day. Those next on the ladder will use it for investment or a vacation, but when you get that far up the ladder, the rebate is good for only one or two nights in a nice hotel.
One congressman said that this is like putting a glass of water in the ocean. Good analogy.
