A $300 Billion Fiscal Stimulus Plan?

I agree

Im no Wall Street genius, but I'm a military wife and I see this from another perspective. My husband works 14-16 hrs a day and gets paid the same as a person who works 6-8 hrs a day if they're the same rank. So he cannot work another job.He's been in 21 yrs now. The kids coming in now are getting upwards of $20,000 to emlist (in certain job fields).And people like us get nada. The last stimulus check did go for bills and a one time splurge of season tickets to 6 Flags. We dont do credit cards so that we dont get into debt like MOST of the military people we know.So we dont have $$$ most of the time. We pay 1400 a month is child support for 2 kids.And he cant not pay-b/c he's military.Meanwhile,the State of Texas is getting paid by tax money to collect my measly $400 a month and it almost never comes.LOL.

Im starting to agree w/the poster above,why not give a huge amount per family and invest in our countries people,nit crooked companies. Im sure even though they're screaming bankruptcy they are including their limos and 8 figure salaries in their budgets! If each family had a sunbstantial amount of money we might see some improvement in things. EVen if its only 10,000 per person. Theres gotta be a better way than whats been going on lately.

I think most people would do like the guy said and pay off their debt and fund college and businesses.
