One of the things being tossed around in Washington to help the economy is another round of stimulus checks, similar to the ones we received this past spring. Another option also being mentioned in place of issuing checks would be to take that money and put it towards public works projects to improve this country's infrastructure ,(roads, bridges, other public projects.)
Some say that the infrastructure project would be better in the long run in improving the economy as it creates more jobs,and the need to produce more goods to meet the increase demands for products for the capital improvements.It would also have a longer term effect in improving the economy over just the issuance of checks to households in an attempt to spur spending on goods and services. The last round of checks issued earlier in the year seemed to "miss the mark" in improving the economy as hoped for. Many households used the money to pay existing credit card and other bills,(as I did), or to save the amount for a later need and not spend it right away.
The question is: "What form of economic stimulus would you like to see,( checks to families, or capital improvement projects? And what are some of the other pros and cons of each option that you see in implementing each one?
