If they have the money to return as an economic stimulus and they don't really need it for other government functions, maybe they shouldn't have taken it in the first place.

I'm pretty sure the government isn't lying around with a bunch of cash reserves that they could send back to all of us. The "refund" really just inflates the deficit, so for those of us that are out there that are younger, this "refund" is in some ways just a long term loan. We'll all have to eventually pay down that debt, some of us more than others... but I just wanted to point out that it isn't as if the government is adding up the money they DIDN'T spend from year to year since every year we're still spending more than we have (even before this economic stimulus plan).
I personally think that more money should have been given back, but to people in lower brackets. If you're a single making 60K or a couple making 120K, I don't think you're in a position to need the "economic stimulus" as much as someone making half that.
