"Last Word"-Atlas Sized Economic Stimulus

SUZANNE PRATT: And finally tonight, there's President Bush's stimulus plan and then there's the Atlas Park shopping center's stimulus plan. That's where a New York City mall is giving away $20,000 in cash, telling shoppers to spend or invest it. The mall's owner says it's meant to supplement the other stimulus package signed into law this month, but without having to wait for rebate checks. To emphasize the concept, the cash is being handed out by people dressed as Uncle Sam and the statue of liberty. It's estimated, if every shopping center in the country did the same thing, Paul, $340 million would be pumped into the economy.

KANGAS: I don't think I'll hold my breath waiting for that to happen Suzanne.

PRATT: It's not on my way home either.
