The Right Economic Medicine?

摘要

Raymond herbst,a New York firefighter, is going to splurge. He's taking his wife to dinner at Windows on the World atop the World Trade Center. Coren Claborn, a bank teller in Spring, Texas, plans to spend the cash on a CD player for her car. Richard Stahmer, a fund-raiser in Houston, is parking the money in his son's college-savings account. Karen Dean, who lives near Cincinnati, can't decide between a paint job for the kitchenand a new dining-roomset. She's certain, though, that the money won't be going into savings. "This is money we didn't expect," she says. "It should be spent, not saved."
