Would the President's Fiscal Stimulus
Package Lift All Boats?


An interesting analysis by Economy.com suggests that the President's fiscal stimulus package will have a differential impact on states. In other words, the package would not lift all state economic boats equally.

The analysis says: "Overall, the Northeast and the West stand to gain the most from President Bush's proposed stimulus package. Given that the Northeast is arguably the weakest economy at the moment, the collection of tax breaks and the extended UI benefits would provide some needed support for this struggling region. Outside of Florida and the Chicago area, the Midwest and the South would enjoy a more modest economic boost."
