This "package" brought out the economist (enter sarcasm here) in everyone! This is just like getting a small tax cut, just a different name and people like me( civil servants like Cops, Fire Fighters, Soldiers, Teachers etc) still have the tax revenue to fill our pay checks. Economics 101 opening day... "more is better than less". A couple of hundred million mofo's spending ten bucks more a week on things like beer, pizza, hookers etc IS good for the economy and if we consistently get this extra money we consistently spend this money. If I (and a shit load of my friends) spend the extra money on beer then the alcohol retailers fuckin' rake it in. This snowballs pretty fast and if everyone that qualifies spends the extra small amount of dough (99.999% will) it will add up to lots of revenue. Simple and not political at all. It has nothing to do with a party, candidate, donkey, elephant, man or woman. Math don't lie.
