NO! That is NOT TRUE.

He cut the rate for a year or two ($400 for single people, $800 for couples), but instead of sending out “stimulus checks” like Bush did, he cut the withholding so that people get a little more in every paycheck — because economists said sending out checks people will just bank it instead of spend it, and it’s more stimulative this way.

Hell, when Bush sent me my checks, I cashed ‘em and spent ‘em.

But I am perpetually broke as hell.
