Sadly, I believe that Joe is correct in his agreement with Mr. Ariely – the government should really test it's economic 'theories' before simply cutting millions of checks.

What I find humorous (in a sad kind of way) is that people think that this is 'free money'. Most folks that I have talked to don't realize that it's not free money – it's either their hard-earned taxes being re-returned to them, or it's a big-ass-loan from China or Dubai.

But, I would imagine that George W(ar). Bush will see an up tick in his approval numbers when so many Americans get their check and fill up their gas tank.

Ick.
