Stimilus package....debatable. All it is is redistribution of wealth under a different name, but anything that puts more money back in the hands of the people instead of the hands of the government is usually a good thing.

The scary thing is the windfall profits tax. Windfall profits taxes are not a good thing economically.

Since I'm not very smart on these sorts of things (perhaps that's not the right wording - haven't read up on it may be better) - why would this be a "scary" thing?

Was it Walter Williams who said stimilus packages are nothing more than trying to make the shallow end of a swimming pool deeper by taking a bucket of water from the deep end?
