Fired up

There's good news and bad news in the $168 billion economic stimulus bill signed today by President Bush. The good news is that most U.S. taxpayers and low- and fixed-income residents will get tax rebate checks of between $300 and $1200 later this year to help stimulate economic growth. The bad news is that borrowing tens of billions just might not be the best way to revive an economy already burdened with trillions of dollars in debt.
