Bush: Rebate Checks Will Make Economy ‘Stronger Than Ever Before.'

Thinkprogress:

President Bush visited a small business in Virginia and discussed his plans for reviving the economy. To make the economy “stronger than ever before,” Bush argued, we must wait for people to spend their rebate checks:

There’s a rough patch right now in our economy, but I’m confident in the long term we’ll come out stronger than ever before. One of the most decisive actions a government can take is to give people their money back so they can spend it, and that’s exactly what we’ve done. In the second week of May, a lot of folks are going to be getting a sizable check. And I’m looking forward to that day, and I know they are as well.
