I agree with your statement here. My point is only that expecting any subsequent stimulus in the economy is not probable. The money saved will not be returned to the taxpayer. More likely it will go to unnecessary programs that kill individual initiative and responsibility in favor of dependency on government (to use just one possible redirect of the spending).
