One big difference between lower oil prices and every other "stimulus" program that the government has spent billions on - the lower oil prices will actually put money into the pockets of American consumers. Despite the ridiculous amount of money that the government has infused into the "economy" (i.e. corporate friends), I cannot name a single expense of mine that has dropped. I've always had the belief that putting money into consumers' pockets is the single best way to stimulate the economy. Had they simply cut taxes as opposed to giving billions to their friends, I suspect we would be in a much better place today.
