stimulus
I think we should put the money in the american people's mailbox. it's our money, it's going to be our debt. the only argument why this won't work to stimulate the economy, is maybe the American people will save too much and not spend enough. the whoopping 14.00 a paycheck in tax cuts we are getting is not enough to even fill my gas tank. there was an ad showing the government is going to spend 5 million promoting good marriages, GIVE ME A BREAK. We are in a drastic recession. put that 5 million in the American people's mailboxes. the majority of us are stressed over losing jobs and not being able to feed our families. WE need help now. NOT the banks, not the car dealerships, if you really want to help the business world, then help us at the same time, and send the money to the American people.
