“I think so, but I would prefer permanent tax cuts. That's what I think would really help.”
— David Upchurch, retired teacher, Lawrence
“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.”
— Staci Kemerling, administrative assistant, Oskaloosa
“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.”
— Rachel Shanberg, Kansas University freshman, Overland Park
“I think that the amount of money will be negligible in terms of affecting the economy.”
— Mike Boring, administrative assistant, Lawrence
