I may be being overly simplistic here, but wouldn’t it be far far cheaper to merely cut checks to every head of household in the US and pay them, say, $125,000, tell them to invest it, save it, spend it or otherwise dispose of it on their own, as they see fit, and eliminate the usual federal funding losses due to admin costs and wages for those doing the admin?
This “save jobs” stimulus package is looking more and more like we are headed directly to government ownership of the means of production in this country, and ownership of labor, as well…hasn’t this been tried once before with glowingly wonderful success? Lenin comes to mind.

Can you imagine if we all got to "burn our mortgages"??? Give the money to pay off home loans or to purchase homes... and don't let it be discretionary. Has to go on houses. The moment people own their own home, they're lifted up out of poverty. Hey, this all started with a housing crisis. Why not just give the people the money so they can pay off their houses or buy a modest home??
I think that would solve everything. Those who already own their own homes free and clear - sure let them have the money to spend at their own discretion on other investments.
Can you just imagine?? The whole nation would turn right around. People could then take what they were spending on their house payment - pay off any car loans - pay off any credit card debt... and as soon as this nation got out of debt - everything might have a hope of turning around.
But, somehow, I think there are some "Rezko" types out there who are going to get the money.
GE,
Yep. If you and I can see this, wow, don't you think the highly educated powerful people, who liken themselves to vassal kings in the way they treat justice, law and their sworn duties, realize this? Of course we do. But their line of thinking has noting to do with us, only their own power base. Enslave the people, eliminate their ability to fight back by using fear and the pressures of life so all will fall in line. How many historical examples do we have to look at?
Mr. Obama’s economic “plan” is to create what the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, the tax increases subsequent to the Crash of 1929 and the massive government spending in the early 1930’s created: a Great Depression. As such, it will accomplish what FDR began: the means whereby the Democrat party will control an entire nation in perpetuity by making its people utterly dependent upon the largess of the Democrats elected by the very people who depend upon them.
Now, based upon the 9% approved rating of our Congress, and W's 25% or so, we are the trusting sheep who are allowing the wolf to shepherd us.
I think you and I and a large contingency of Americans know better than to trust the fox with our hen house. I think we'll be leaving the hen house... the sheepfold of this nation... so the foxes and wolves must feed on those who are willing... and each other.
I'm out as soon as a state and it's people vote to secede. That's where I'll be relocating to.
Georgia!! Georga...
So many beautiful songs about Georgia. :)
I spent some time in Georgia some years ago. Very hot in the Summer!
I prefer NC/SC.
Maybe we will have a repeat of the mid 1880's and SC will be first? I'll be happy! :)
