The fact that our economy is on the brink of collapse has been common knowledge on the street for months. When Washington finally got on board and our lawmakers decided immediate action was necessary, they resolved to inject some cold cash into the still slightly warm corpse of an economy. Of course, ASAP for the government means that sometime this summer, and I'm not evening feeling a hint of spring yet, cash will get into the hands of the consumers.
By that time we'll either be pulling out of the recession without the government's help, or we'll be stranded so far out in the dry lakebed of vaporized consumer spending that the paltry $600 refund won't even pay for the first session with a bankruptcy attorney.
But don't worry about that too much, if Obamary gets elected, the same government apparatus that took 6 months to cut you a $600 check to "save" the economy will be scheduling your cancer treatment.
To quote Country Joe MacDonald, "Whoopie! We're all gonna die!"

Haha, you make a really good point here. If the government knows this, and is unable to, or chooses not to, do something about this, would you go as far as to say that our government is broken?
George Will once said that, at best, government is a "blunt instrument." Don't expect the precision of an eye surgeon, or the speed of a gazelle. Remember, representative government is, by definition, a bunch of committees.
