> you could see a drastic effect as soon as the $600 started hitting people's checking accounts

I think it's interesting how true it is that some people just can't stand the feeling of money burning a hole in their pockets.

Based on the furniture set sitting out on the curb at my neighbor's house, they decided a free $1800 was as good a reason as any to get some new furniture.

I guess that's the theory behind stimulus checks, so I suppose it makes sense.
