You know, As i heard the news today that Congress and George Bush have agree don a 150 billion dollar economic stimulus package, I was excited to hear what it was. It looks like their idea of economic stimulus is to give the tax payers a rebate check. Each and every one of us.
Im sorry to say but this is the silliest and most vacuous political machinations that you could only expect from the most inept of people. Simply to pander for votes we are throwing 150 billion dollars into the economy in such a ridiculous way.
Clearly a better solution, would have been to draft a bill spending 150 billion dollars to rebuild this nations infrastructure. Can you imagine how many jobs that would have created and the good it would have done this conuntry? Our bridges, roads, and buildings would be rebuilt. Rather, we will get 3000-1200 dollars in the mail, thanks to the pandering nature of our elected officials.
If we ever neeeded a Franklin Rossevelt, it was now. Rather we have George Bush and a rather weak and sp ineless democratic congress.
So how do you feel about pocketing extra cash while most likely our budget deficit spirals out of conotrl and inflation destroys the point of any rebate check.
There is no doubt about it. Inflation is about to hid us harder than it already has.
If only, our country would rise to greatness rather than look for political expediency.
