They want to stimulate the economy. The Package just signed into place by Barock is going to cost <strong>$798 Billion<\/strong>. There are approximately <strong>300 Million Persons<\/strong> in the US at the last census. Now lets say there are approx <strong>200 million adults<\/strong> age 18-80. of these lets say <strong>100,000<\/strong> of them are worth over <strong>1 million<\/strong>, and <strong>1 million<\/strong> of them are incarcerated. that leaves approx. <strong>199.999.000<\/strong> persons. Send each of them a check for <strong>1 Million Dollars US.Tax Free<\/strong>. Now I flunked math but that seems to me the government just saved <strong>$797.801.000.000.00<\/strong> Most people will spend them selves silly, thus stimulating the economy. Most people will go out and buy at least <strong><em>2 new cars<\/em><\/strong>, That would bail out the auto makers. it would create jobs for the new consumer demand. and the responsible of them would start some kind of savings plan thus putting money back into the banking industry. <strong>Thus it would empower the general public <\/strong>(<em>oops, I just answered my own question, We can&#8217;t empower the public that would mean the Guvmint could not run our lives<\/em>). Now as for the jobs that need to be created to rebuild the infrastructure of the country that the stimulus plan is supposed to be creating. IE: Construction, road building etc. Bring back the <strong>WPA<\/strong> and The <strong>CCC<\/strong>. For those of you not old enough to remember those agencys. The WPA(<strong>Works Progress Administration<\/strong>) And the CCC(<strong>Civilian Conservation Corps<\/strong>) [<em>Dad always said they had another name for them I won&#8217;t share with you<\/em>] You take a look at most Bridges in this country that are over 50 years old and you will see there is a plaque affixed to them that says the date of completion it also says <strong>&#8220;Built By The WPA&#8221;<\/strong> as well as most of the municipal buildings in the country. Now I know this will Piss off the overpriced building contractors that count on inflated government contracts, but with the afore mentioned million dollar checks they can do projects for the private sector. and as For the <strong>CCC<\/strong> We are starting to realize that we need to clean up the planet, Well this is right up their alley, our parks and national wonders need work done to them, The <strong>CCC<\/strong> built most of them lets let them maintain them also. <strong>These programs helped to bail the public out of the Great Depression<\/strong> (<em>Yeah I know WW2 did also<\/em>) It&#8217;s time we bring back what works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK Chew on this one for a while, Tell Me why it won&#8217;t work, and I&#8217;ll Check back in a couple of months at all of your comments.
