Why Didnt he do it like this? (debt, interest, tax)

[whitegiant]

Why did Obama decide to do his stimulus like this. I mean yeah i understand that we need money to help pump up the economy but did it have to cost this dang much could there not be anyother way that he could have done it cheaper. And wouldnt it work better if he just split the trillion dollars up equally between all americans. We would get alot of money that people would definatly spend. I mean think about it 1,000,000,000,000 divided between 300,000,000 people. Im just wonderin what peoples opinios are on this.

Based on your numbers, that would be $3,333 per person. Is that really enough money to spur the economy? I'd suspect that a lot of people would take $3,333 and just put it in the bank or pay off bills. Its the same reason people argue against a pure tax based stimulus plan.

If we put it in the bank, wouldn't that have solved the banks liquidity problem...?

So then whats the point? Give it to the banks, or give it to us to give to the banks.

The banksters own Obama, as well as most of the government, the politicians have to pay the banksters first.

Also a lot of other people bankrolled Obama's campaign, he has to pay them back as well.

The role of the average idiot is to pay interest on debt, underemployed at some relatively useless service job.

Accept your place in the international pecking order, bow the the king, like Obama did, and stop complaining.
