Instead of giving us a lump sum that we could use to help with remodeling our home, we will get $15.00 every two weeks for a year.
It's better to have the incremental than the lump sum if the goal is to get some sustaining 'rolling start' to the stimulus. You get a lump sum, the party is over in one day and then you're back to where you started. Remember last year's rebate? It was here, then it was gone, that was it, thanks for playing.
But if you get an increase in cash flow, however small, you've got something that keeps going -- the bottom line is, the money has to go somewhere. It's to get money slowly moving again, it's not to make everyone suddenly rich.
A little dose of realistic expectations is in order here.
