IRVINE, Calif. — More than half of Americans feel the recently signed $152 billion federal economic stimulus package is a short-term solution for the troubled U.S. economy, according to an Experian Consumer Direct poll.
The Experian Consumer Direct and Experian Research Services survey was conducted March 6–12 and included 1,000 adults randomly selected from across the country, according to Experian.
Fifty-nine percent said they feel the stimulus package is a "short-term fix" for the U.S. economy, while 32% feel the package will cause more Americans to reinvest in the economy. When asked how consumers plan to use their rebate check from the federal economic stimulus package, 19% said they would pay off debt, 16% said they would pay utility bills and 10% said they would apply the proceeds toward home repairs.
