What do want to have even a bigger deficit?
They told you that this shit was coming!! :sadwave:
the government is stupid. why did they waste that 145 billioin on the economic stimulus package a few months back. could they not see this coming. they sure could use that money now. glad i don't have anything in the market or not securely tucked away.
we're all fcked.
we're all fcked.
I received this email today. It explains the bailout in the most simple way
The following is making its way around the internet.
Hmmmmmm......sounds like a very interesting solution.
In fact, it sounds so laudable there obviously must be something
terribly
wrong with the whole concept......or is there? You decide.
Dear Congress and Mr President:
I'm against the $85,000,000, 000.00 bailout of AIG. (That's 85
BILLION DOLLARS).
Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000, 000 to America in
We Deserve It Dividend.
To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000
bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man,
woman
and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18
and up..
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals
$425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a
We Deserve It Dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax-free.
So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000, 000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their
pocket.
A husband and wife has $595,000 .00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to$595,000.00 in your
family?
Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college - it'll be there
Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new AMERICAN car - create AMERICAN jobs
Invest in the market - capital drives growth
Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care
improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including
the folks
who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other
company
that is cutting back. And of course, for hose serving in our
Armed Forces.
If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do
it...instead
of trickling out
a puny $1000.00 ( 'vote buy' ) economic incentive that is being
proposed by one of our candidates for President.
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out
every adult U S Citizen 18+!
As for AIG - liquidate it.
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it
up.
Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.
Sure it's a crazy idea that can 'never work.'
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block party!
How do you spell Economic Boom?
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 billion
We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC .
And remember, The Family plan only really costs $59.5
Billion because
$25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
Kindest personal regards,
A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic.
