Professional Blogging: Economic Stimulus Edition

It's been quite a week. And all the financial news and economic stimulus talk has made it ridiculously easy to make blog posts this week. So I present extra posts this week. All having to do with all the "economic stimulus" that's been going on. But will it help long-term? Well, remember five years ago when the Bush Administration headed up a tax rebate to stimulate the economy? We're in about the same place. Only worse. So I think this will work about the same as the last one did.
  1. The biggest news is the tax rebate offered. Depending on your income, how many kids you have and your filing status, you will get between $300 and $1,200 in a tax rebate.
  2. An emergency Fed rate cut on Tuesday means that those with ARMs, HELOCs and credit cards may see some interest rate relief.
  3. We're not done bailing out the financial sector yet. Now the government is trying to help bond insurers recover from their subprime losses.
  4. And, on The Panelist, I point out that a tax rebate and other economic stimulus measures probably won't do anything for gas prices. In fact, if the economy gets going, oil prices are more likely to rise.


Also, here is a video I used on the Personal Finance Corner that explains the tax rebate.
