Could it be they are confusing the fact that there was a mistake in some of the stimulus checks (mine was one of them) where some people didn't receive the extra 300 for each child?

Actually for several weeks now, the Democrats have been saying they want a second economic stimulus package passed and Bush has said he wants to wait and see how the first one does.


Here's one of many articles that floated around on the subject:

So it's not a done deal, but the idea is definitely being bandied about in Congress.
