Do you think income tax rebates will help stimulate the economy?

Asked at Massachusetts Street on January 18, 2008

“I think so, but I would prefer permanent tax cuts. That's what I think would really help.”

“I think it sounds like a good short-term plan. I'd sure spend the money. But I don't think it will prevent a recession if that's the direction we're headed.”

“I think it would, because not everyone knows how to save their pennies. So most of the money will go directly back into the economy.”

“I think that the amount of money will be negligible in terms of affecting the economy.”
