Is there going to be another economic stimulus check for the holidays?
A combo of a political, tax, economic and social question....your guess is as good as anyones. None is planned.Considering this rebate seems to have worked very poorly, was problem ridden and hard to administer...and may have actually generated a good deal of ill-will toward the politicians....it would seem unlikely. It is not even discussed as a prtion of any of the next recvery plans...making it even more unlikely. [Update] There may not be more stimulus checks, but there will be more tax credits. In Obama's 2010 budget (which looks forward to the next ten years) there are plans to extend to 2013, the "Making Work Pay" $400/$800 tax cut for workers, originally enacted as part of the economic stimulus plan. It also seeks to make permanent the expansion of the child tax credit and the newly enlarged college credit now called the American Opportunity Tax Credit ------------------------------------------------------ A bit more details found here: (Link moved to proper location).
