Over 12 TRILLION and still counting!!

I could have bought the Alpha Smart Word Processor for my daughter instead of having to put a donate button on my blog, that's being ignored. Paid off my car and other things. Bought food and put down a pretty penny or two on a house. Oh, but my daughter is getting $$250 in her social security. Big Whoop.

It would do wonders for my economy. I would pay bills and then enjoy a nice vacation or shopping spree. I could spend hours just planning and dreaming what I could do with that kind of money.

It's ok Rodney, it is just worthless paper. Our money will be so worthless soon. Save your eggs, they will be our currency soon....

Heck if everyone in this house had gotten 42k they wouldnt have needed to bail out the auto industry because we alone would have purchased 3 vehicles! Maybe not their brand new ones but probably last years models that are sitting on the lot.

if the prsedent would of got his original plane passed then everyone would of got a big spread of the money but the house said no the republicans said thats to much money to give to the people so they cut that out , they wanted to cut everything out and let things fix themself but we all know that wouldnt happen, i kinda understand the money spending thing because it cost money to make money but the same people keep asking for bail outs which i dont agrea with if they couldnt fix things on the first one they shouldnt get another chance, because they are going to keep asking for help.

I would have paid off all my old student loans, credit cards and medical bills. There would still even be money left for me to put into the economy by spending on some nice things for my kids! The government would do well if they gave me that money because they'd get back what I owe in student loans, and the creditors would have done better if the people could have paid what they owed instead of getting a bailout form the goverment with all the strings attached. IF WE THE PEOPLE had been given that money, we'd already be out of or damn near the end of our financial crisis.

These people are concerned about their own political welfare and how much power that they can grab. They actually believe that the money we make is their money, and they will decide what to do with it.

Don't worry, they are very busy printing billions of more dollars to cover their spending. They seem to think this will balance it all out. Of course it would have been better to give the people the money, if they were going to just give it away. Giving it to GM and AIG was just throwing it away. That money went to offshore bank accounts and foreign countries that will never stimulate the American economy. If you had given it to Americans, they would have spent it here and it would have stimulated the economy. That is obvious. They do not want to stimulate our economy and help the little guy. They want to kill the middle class. It is difficult to control the middle class. They want a small rich class and then to have everyone else dirt poor so that they can control them while they take over everything else. Shalom~Adoniah

Heck, even just $42k would have stimulated this household. That's a years worth of income. It would have paid off debt, a sizeable downpayment on a house, a new albeit used car for my husband, and there still would have been money to put into college funds and savings. $42k for every member? The kids wouldn't have to worry about how to pay for college, lol. And we probably would not have to worry about high mortgage payments for some time to come. We, the people, would have done a thousand times more stimulating with even less money, than what they are doing with more and more. It's a crazy world and the rich get richer... Now wasn't there a promise of redistribution of wealth????

How would over 42,000.00 dollars for every member of your family have stimulated YOUR economy? I am not sure. Is the goverment's concern for the welfare of it's constituents or just their own political welfare? Just their own political welfare. Which do you believe would have stimulated the economy more; 12+ trillion for big business or 42 thousand dollars for every man, woman and child in the US? The forty-two thousand dollars for every man, woman and child in the US.

After watching the Obama administration trying to take over the businesses and banks that have gotten stimulus money, I don't think I'd want any money from the government. I want to keep my freedom and right to choose as long as I can, which may not be much longer, if Obama gets his way.

Where is all this money coming from. Are they just cranking up the printing presses an inventing value out of thin air. This must be fueling inflation and the next generation will have to pay interest charges on this debt. Does this amount to financial abuse of the next generation? I wonder.

i think what the US government is doing not just helping their country but also the rest of the world. i mean by increase in US economy, other country's economy will increase. i think? but in some asian countries, although their economy slowed down, they are still surviving. i mean they dont have that much recessions since their economy is still growing... i think there is a political melt down happening somewhere in between
