Months after saying no to a second economic stimulus package, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is now saying yes. With a twist, according to this Wall Street Journal article. Not as intoxicating as vodka with a twist, but this is still interesting news.
Is it wrong that I'm salivating about a second $600 check? Does it show desperation? Never fear, I will keep paying Powerball. But facts are facts: Powerball gave me $8 this year, mostly thanks to two times I got the Powerball number and nothing else. The government gave me $600! (Should I be given another $600 check since I saved it and turned it into $400, according to this morning's trading?)
Of course, the story doesn't say $600 yet or any other figure for that matter. Just stuff about encouraging spending among the masses while helping the credit and housing markets. Hope I don't have to wait until next year's tax rebate check to find out more.
