Spend the money - it's yours. It's a plan by the government to try to revive consumer spending (which drives our economy). They think if you have more money, you'll feel less insecure about our current economic outlook, and as a result will spend it.
Then once you spend it - whatever you bought will put money into someone elses pockets, and then they'll go spend it (money multiplier effect).
It won't be taken back, and it doens't matter if we got it from china. We have 9.2 trillion dollars in national debt - a little more from a nation who won't call their loans in doesn't matter. 9.2T < 13.1T (US GDP). Our debt is huge, but so is our output - although we do need to start tackling it before it becomes unmanagable.

Is China not in debt at all? How do they have so much money? I know they have over a 1,000,000,000 people, much of who work full time, shitty paying jobs but I still don't get it.

Communist China. . . think about it. Also alot of the technology comes from there. Things are massed porduced in china because its cheeper but they get twice our business that way too. China has the top like 7 rich people in the world.
