13398140, this is why obama took a more subtle/lowkey approach Posted by Reeq, Sat Aug-08-20 02:01 AM
to tax payer stimulus. payments without huge headlines, credits/deductions, etc.
they had data saying that when people know theyre getting lump sum payments from the gov (like tax refunds)...theyre more likely to tuck it away.
but when they just see/feel more money in their pockets...theyre more likely to go out and spend it in places that actually stimulates the economy (the whole point of a stimulus).
