Everyone that lives in the US will get money back this year from the president. Something to do with the economy. I am getting $350. That's cool. My dad just told me.

It's due to the US going in to recession. The government don't want that to happen and therefore they think giving money away will help to kick it back into growth etc... Too little too late I feel.

They don't want you to save it. That's why they're giving it away. They want you to spend it IN the US

Spend it in the U.S. Not on things that will be going to Ross in the U.K. I don't get any because apparently according to my mom 'I don't send in a tax return.' My parents got like $1600 and they plan to spend it all xD

I think that consumer spending is neither the cause nor the solution to our situation. It's Alan Greenspan's years of low interest rates and generally pro-borrowing mentality. Once people realize that you can't buy a $400,000 house with 5% down and a couple of $20,000 cars with $0 down and expect to pay it off on two $40,000/year salaries, things will start to improve.
