Spend Tax Payers Money on Stupid Stimulus Checks that wont do shat but put the US more in the Hole. Who ever Voted for that jackass should be slapped

The stimulus money helps keep overall US spending from decreasing to the point where it begins to form an economic death spiral, lower spending leading to job losses leading to lower spending type thing. It helps prevent the kind od deflationary death spiral the US economy went into in the 1930s after the 1920s period of easy money, house price boom, no economic regulation. It may be that it isn't enough and you need more stimulus. I think the blame here should go to the jackass that caused the meltdown rather than the poor fucker left to deal with it.
