Answer to Question 1

The temporary tax rebate did not add much to permanent income, so it's no surprise that most of the money was not added to current spending. However, the immediate reduction in household debt increases lifetime resources. Generally, the cost of debt service is higher than the expected return on saving, so permanent income rose further and gave some boost to current consumption.

Answer to Question 2

B
