CJ, > Sure they can. Just not with stimulus money. Because, then, it isn't a stimulus... Fine, spend the "stimulus money" on stimulus and relief, and spend the general tax revenue on the debt. Either way, you're going to run afoul of the Obamanation. And The One will not hesitate to call you out ... > After all, that was the biggest reason why those stimulus checks mailed out last year didn't have much of an effect. Most people used them to retire debt. This is perhaps the biggest reason why I generally don't believe in a stimulus. Even Michael's suggestion of American Express gift certificates with an expiration date isn't going to work, IMO. Too much debt still waterlogging the system. Tenchusatsu
