Earlier this year the U.S. government sent out just over $100 billion in tax rebate checks in a bid to reignite consumer spending. Officials said evidence suggests that many people used the money to pay off debts rather than spending it.

"I think there is a tendency by some of the opposition to take the American approach, which quite frankly has not worked," Flaherty said, adding that there was no point using "the shotgun approach, spraying money across the economy and hoping that something works somewhere."

They are right these checks are just another form of bailing out the failing banking system disguised as helping main st.

And in other news Obama wants to continue Bush's failed policies.

Stimulus checks are a waste of money. The first one I recall hearing about was when Jesse Ventura did it. All the poor saps that thought their $100 (or whatever it was) was a great deal.

That money was a lot more valuable en masse than it would ever be as a stimulus.

"We are going to need to see a stimulus package passed either before or after the inauguration (on January 20). I want to see a stimulus package sooner rather than later," Obama told a news conference in Chicago after meeting his economic advisers.

The Canadian government is so full of shit it's not even funny. Worse than George Bush. Seriously, watch them, they are worse. Everything they say is almost the exact opposite of the truth.

No one in Canada is suggesting surplus checks. The gov are just turning everyone's words around. They were one day away from having their government toppled and replaced with a left wing coalition (left wing parties control their parliament), and now they are doing a 180 on three separate policies to save their asses.

Nope still in reality that nothing will change and Obama is just an extension of Bush.
