There are billions, upon billions, of dollars on the table for the government's economic stimulus plan. Are you sure, EXACTLY, how it's helping you? The goal is to create jobs and give us enough spending income so that we have the confidence to buy those goods and services we haven't been lately. Are you sure, EXACTLY, that this current plan achieves that? If you can answer a resounding YES than I need you to explain it to me.
Otherwise, I have a thought, or better yet, my own thought for a stimulus plan. How about, first of all, everyone in Congress gets a work a week without pay. They serve us yet we are the ones doing most of the suffering. They need to feel it. That should save a few billion dollars, don't you think? Now, I think the rest of the money should go to two places - employers and US! Distribute $400 billion to any and all SMALL business owners in the country. Make them qualify, as if they were qualifying for a loan, but they wouldn't have to pay it back. Then get the rest of the money and distribute it among the population. Depending on your income, depends on what you get. The more you make, the less you get and vice versa. If you're not working and just getting unemployment, you get the highest amount. Again , the application is used here also. Have Warren Buffet oversee the distribution - not someone in Congress. We need someone who knows business and has done it well - not a politician.
The distribution is tax-free BUT normal taxes with jobs, purchasing, gains, etc., would apply after. Imagine all that money being put right back into the system. It's possible, that we may pay back alot of what was distributed. Maybe I'm being way too idealistic but I think it's worth a shot, don't you?
