"$7.70 a week"
That equates to an extra hour of minimum wage pay per week without the extra hour of work. Does not seem like very much, unless you're only working ~30 hrs/week minimum wage to feed yourself and a family.
However, there will be a few thousand of those $7.70/week in Puna and it is true that such additional money in the bank accounts of low/mid income folks will be spent and such spending will have wider effect in the community. Nothing to dismiss.
"... jobs?..."
$pending creates job$.
Of course, the most important point is that the "tax credit" is only a small part of the larger stimulus.
Crank up the printing pre$$.
Infrastructure, including mass transit. Retrofitting buildings, etc.
Mayor Kenoi is cultivating the source of appropriation$ in D.C. where the printing pre$$e$ are about to start rolling.
Expect to see real (newly printed) $$$$ identified for real projects ~ July 1, 2009, and real projects spending real $$$$
~ January 1, 2010.
Of course, if one is still not satisfied, then that would call for one to be articulate as to better ideas, ways and means
