Economic Stimulus

After reading Wayne blog about getting his check sometime ago, I started wondering when (even if) we were going to ours. Today the notice came to expect a check this coming week. The following conversation ensued:

Allan: What shall we do with it?

Helly: Put it towards the deposit on our new apartment (the check we'll get covers about 2/3 of a month's rent at the new place)!

Allan: But that's not going to help the economy!

Indeed. How many other people are going to use that money to pay down debt or save it or use it for purposes other than its intended use: purchases leading to economic stimulation?
