If
the Federal Government truly wanted to stimulate the
economy by freely giving away taxpayer money - Give It To The People! It is OUR
money. Below is an example:
Allocate $XXXXXXXXXXXX amount of
money for stimulus. Divide that sum of cash by XXXXXXX number Taxpaying US
Citizens. Give that amount to each taxpayer.
This would have stimulated
the Economy as a WHOLE. People would have had disposable income in their hands
to pay mortgages, auto loans, utility bills, credit cards, Etc. The mortgage
& auto loan payments would have helped shore up the banking industry. The
auto industry would have benefitted because people would erase debt and have the
ability to purchase new vehicles. The Retail sector would have shown better
revenues and sales because people would be more financially stable &
confident in their financial futures.
........ Economy Stimulated.
These plans 'Stimulated' the wrong people. Auto makers, Campaign
contributers, and other wrongful reciepients were given billions of Taxpayer
dollars to get their operations and payrolls back in order. However, we see the
results of giving this money to General Motors - Bankruptcy still.
And now we are seeing these same people being "satisfied" with all of
the earmarks and "Sweetheart Deals" that are buried within the Senate
Helthcare Bill.
