Who knows Obama's stimulus plan?

I always hear about him pushing it in Congress every night on the news, but they NEVER say what the play actually is. And I googled it. I couldn't find what his plan is. Just news on the plan. Does anyone know? This is starting to really irritate me. Our nation is incompetent at informing us. -.- Bugs the shit out of me.

You're just realizing how bad the media is? They don't cater to people who can think for themselves, that's the opposite of good.

Wow his plan BLOWS. The only think on there that I think MIGHT HELP is the $50 billion to prevent layoffs with states. All the other crap is bs.

I got an email in which some guy had done the math on the amount of money the government was giving to those car companies. If the government had given the money to every citizen 18+ each person would've gotten $200k. How fucking stupid is the government to save those car companies like GM? Ok they saved the car companies, but the consumers HAVE NO MONEY TO BUY THE DAMN CARS. Give the money directly to the consumers and it will work it's way up. Problem solved.

You obviously didn't read his plan very well if you don't think he's helping out consumers. Bottom up is basically the summary of his plan...

I'm pretty sure if every person 18+ were given 200k, prices would skyrocket everywhere. That's my understanding of economics in a free market anyway...

Who cares. It's straight forward. If the consumers have money, they'll spend it. Obama is only making tax cuts (that's the "bottom"), which I doubt will make much difference, if any. Even using that money to buy weed or stuff on the black market will help our economy. People just over think this stuff. It's a simple and straight forward solution.

nah, the money should be given to those in debt, or those who live in the poor areas of the cities, that's the only way to bring your country back to life..

The rich will alway get richer while the poor will alway be poor.... why not give money to the poor so people can get their life back?

What's the point of saving the car companies when people can't afford to buy them??.. All that money is doing is creating more cars which makes it even worse for the consumers as the money is being wasted toward something they can't even buy.

Honestly? Everyone is hyped on "Change".. shit doesn't happen till 2010.

yes, wouldnt that be nice. Instead of 800 billion dollars to business.. lol you could give a something like 3 grand to every citizen in America, which would be like... 12 grand for the average family? I dunno.. it'd be something. But highly unlikely... not highly, more like impossible. Throw capitalism out the window, completely socialistic society, not that Obama isn't significantly changing that right now anyways

That would be very nice. No more money wasted on drug busts/hunts (for this drug) and we can domesticate it. EZ
