Instead of just handing the cash to a newly-created bureaucracy, and rewarding unions for their support of the Democrats, with the power of the stimulus watered down and chipped away, why not demonstrate some real creativeness and issue each American household a non-transferable voucher -- which MUST be redeemed within one year (or it is no longer valid), and good only for goods, products, or services made in the USA --- for $3982.30 ($450 billion divided by 113 million)?
That way, the money goes to the people who will spend it, depending on their own individual choices and needs. Small and large business will benefit. People will be hired by the private sector. Taxes will be collected. And the entire economy will benefit.
Obama claims that his proposal will benefit each American household by $1500. I have him beat by over two grand!

Good idea? Yes? No? Why?
DAMN! Run for President and I will vote for you. Your plan by far exceeds our current President's plan.
My fifth cousin put it so beautifully - "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".
My god people are so incredibly brainwashed to continually believe government can solve the very problems it creates.
The recession was caused by Wall Street, even though the GOP repeats the zombie lie that it was Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac caused the problem, which just isn't so. It was Wall St. greed buying up worthless mortgages, repackaging them as AAA securities and selling them to unsuspecting investors that caused the economic crash, not the government.
and of course the GOP solution is more tax-cuts that haven't created job in the past.
It is to get rid of the Obama tax increases and to maybe cut government bloating and government unions by half or more.
It is up over 1000% plus as a percentage of the population since the 60s and that is unsustainable.
What's wrong with decreasing taxes for businesses which either hire new workers or give their present workers a raise?
