A newspaper editorial criticizes the federal government for overspending on communications about the economic stimulus. It cites a $42 million IRS mailing to alert 130 million taxpayers about rebates and questions the need for repeated notices, arguing funds could better serve other ventures. The piece notes the stimulus may boost activity but derides the publicity approach as self-serving.
