Although I would benefit greatly, this is a terrible idea. At this point, we've already blown this year's federal budget surplus. And judging from how air traffic has grown in the past two weeks, I don't think that this stimulus package would do us any good. Even worse, this seems like a gift from the federal government only to those with enough disposable income--in a recession, of all times--to spend $500 on personal vacation travel through the end of the year.
