Stimulating

on 2/18/09

Does this make more sense than the stimulus plan just passed by Obama and Congress?


Take the 787 billion dollars and divide it evenly between everyone that is 18 years of age or older.

Roughly 260 million Americans are over 17.

$787,000,000,000/260,000,000=$3026 each.

Give each adult in the country 3 grand and I think that will get some money moving around quicker than building roads and preserving national parks. The investments in America's future that are in this bill are good things, but that isn't what this bill should be used for. That's what the government's annual budget is to be used for.

Maybe Obama should just cancel all taxes for one year. Sales tax, corporate tax, income tac. Everything. That'll stimulate the economy for sure.
