How about the Dems like Hillary who are ALSO advocating tax rebates? Are they ALL stupid and morons too???
Yes.

It helped to stimulate the economy last time it was done in 2001.
No it didn't. The tax cuts did. $300-$800 per person is simply too little money to stimulate a multi-trillion economy. It's literally impossible. You may get stimulation for the one single day it will take for those people to spend the money, then it's right back to what it was before they got the check. It's stupid.

But hey, I'm ALL for making the Bush tax cuts permanent....which would also help. While they are at it, they should reverse the Bill Clinton tax on Social Secuity recipients. I'm working on my taxes, and it's pretty pathetic that 85% of my SS benefits are being taxed!! Thanks to Bill Clinton.
Keep in mind the GOP had 6 whole years to reverse that. Yet oddly, they didn't even SUGGEST it, let alone do it. Shocking to hear, I know. Face it, they aren't any better. You want them to be. You may even need them to be. But they simply aren't.
