All that stimlus package is, is money that the government doesn't have, they have borrowed and essentially stolen from future generations, and alloted to people/businesses who won't take financial responsibitity for themselves. (I'm so glad no Republicans voted for it)
The Converter coupons are the same type of program, only set up ealier.

I don't know about you but I welcome a coupon to pay only $9.00 for my converter boxes. Why should you have to pay full price,( albeit probably a higher price because of the coupon) when there is a way to lessen the burden. Besides you have a choice of what converter box or tv to buy. Government isn't telling you which one you need to purchase. And what about the people who have very little choice and tv is important in their lives (i.e. senior citizens, shut ins, etc.) Should we deny them the freedom to watch tv?

Ventureowner, would you please give me $40.00 to buy a converter box, because I don't have the money to buy one, and am too lazy and irresponsible to earn the money to buy one?
That is really whats going on here with these coupons and stimulus program!
