Taiwan Fights Recession With Gadget Show

Taiwan Fights Recession With Gadget Show - PC World: "The Taiwan government last month started handing out NT$3,600 (US$106) in vouchers to every adult citizen in the nation to get them out shopping again and stimulate the economy. The multi-billion dollar program was aimed at stimulating growth by getting people out and shopping. To that end, the government gave vouchers instead of cash to ensure people used them ahead of their expiration dates, instead of handing out cash that might be put in the bank."
