by my own economic situation I have to say it did nothing.... based on that and the ego knowledge that i am not a stupid man I can only surmise that this bailout will eventually change nothing either.

whats your opinion of what that stimulus check did you you?

That 300 was a joke. I felt like sending it back but I figured if I did they'd just spend it on ammo so I kept it.
