    First, I really don't think there is ever 'free' money, it comes from somewhere and whether it be that the govn't has cut funding somewhere or dropped programs or whatever. Personally, I feel it is just an incentive to try to help the economy. It most likely won't but will allow many people to feel it does. Plus, the gov't will most likely getting the money right back as people spend it on whatever, but in particular larger and better reef set ups!

    The theory is that it will stimulate the economy by us going out and buying stuff and keep us from sinking further into a recession.

    I think there is no way this thread will avoid politics so I am closing it. Sorry.
