to the financial crisis. Ready? Here we go.
They want to give away 700 billion dollars. Written out that's 700,000,000,000. Man that is a lot of zeroes. They want to give this money to bail out the greedy financial institutions who looked to make a quick buck on sub-prime mortgages. So in the governments eyes, you cheat you win. Well that may be all well and good on Wall Street but here on Main Street we live by a different mantra. I'm not sure exactly what that mantra is, maybe you cheat you lose or you cheat you don't get my dough. I don't know. They both sound kind of non-inspiring but you get my drift.
Let's take that 700 billion and distribute it equally among 70 million households. That's $1000 a piece. Spend it how you like. Want to save it, no problem. It will keep the banks solvent. Spend it on a sprinkler system. Great! You're keeping the local sprinkler guy in business. Buy clothes for the kiddos. Taxes will be paid on that. Spend away!
Give the money to those who aren't greedy. Give the money to those who haven't had a foreclosure. Give the money to those who don't live beyond their means. Namely ME!
Some rules for being included in the 70 million. No foreclosures. No bankruptcys. No felonies. No government employees. I mean please. When was the last time you heard of a government employee being fired. It takes a $64 million shortfall in the DISD budget to make them even think about firing people. Nothing's happened yet.
I'm sure Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would be all over this.
