Americans puzzled by stimulus checks
Xamar Radio
US consumers are wondering about the way to spend their economic stimulus checks from the government amid rising prices and high debts.

Americans are made to re-think their buying habits as staples like milk, meat, chicken and rice have risen about 70 percent in the last year.

Americans are used to working long hours to support their lifestyles, but the idea of cutting costs is hard to take in.

The economic stimulus checks are an effort by the US president George W. Bush to boost the economy and consumer spending.

However, it doesn't seem that there will be much consumer spending as people struggle with high prices and paying off debts.
