The stimulus package came about as Congress was faced with evidence of an impending recession. Democrats fought for a larger more expansive package but, ultimately ended up with this bipartisan compromise. Under the terms of the package, single filers will get a maximum $600 rebate while married couples will get a maximum $1200 rebate. In addition, parents will get $300 for each child.
Along with rebate checks the stimulus package includes other benefits. It allows for tax breaks for businesses designed to help them invest in new equipment. And it also includes a one-year increase in the size of mortgages that can be backed by the government.
Now will this package help "stimulate" the economy that remains to be seen, however, I do know for a fact my portion will serve its purpose.
