I received my Economic Stimulus check yesterday. It neither stimulated me, nor significantly changed my economic situation. I immediately paid my second quarter estimated taxes, which are due Monday. So what the government gave, the government received in return.
I guess I should be grateful that the ES check added enough to my checking account that I didn't have to raid my savings account to pay my estimated taxes.
But really, $600? Is that likely to have a significant impact on many people?

$900 here for a family of four. It will go to car payments and towards the power bill. It helps--a little. And no doubt, there will be a tax increase next Spring that will be far more than any stimulus package this election year.
