I do have an opinion and I would like to hear how many others people out there have similar feelings as me. I think instead of bailing out these big coorporations, banks, companies,etc that the government should have gave all the taxpayers instead of a small check we should recieve that money divided evenly up what was it 800 billion dollars or something like that, I mean man if every family got a check for 100,000 don't you think that is going to stimulate the economy faster then just throwing the money into dying businesses. I don't know I guess it is just me thinking the average tax paying american manages there money on average better then what it looks like the banks have done and I sure don't see the government bailing out the small man when his business fail.

I have heard many, many people say something similar. I dont think it would really stimulate the economy! If everyone had more money, the cost of everything would go up! It would be like instant inflation! We wouldnt be getting anywhere, so it would have been a waste of money! I dont necessarily agree with all of the bailout funds being distributed the way they are. But at least with that plan, there is a chance for improvement. If everyone was just handed money, nothing would really change.

I know your right on this I just get exasperated when I see how much money our government wastes and then I think about the help that is needed for people here.
