our congress just handed a bail out deal to the auto manufacturer's and also to the real estate magnates who started and perpetuated this whole financial fiasco to begin with. in the order of billions of tax payer dollars with out any regard to the general populace. what i mean is how does giving billions of dollars to the auto manufacturer's help sell cars if the citizens cannot buy them how does giving billions of dollars put workers back on assembly line if no one can purchase manufactured goods or products. if our congress was smart then they would realize that for only a few hundred million dollars rather than 25 billion they could turn our economy around in a few months rather than a few years. by giving the taxpayer back what is rightfully theirs to begin with. if our congress gave every registered taxpayer $50,000.00 then almost all of the citizens would be out of debt. the sales of luxury items would go through the roof and put millions of people back to work. giving most of us a chance at starting over allowing truckers who couldn't repair their vehicles to do so,people who didn't have the money to buy stock's or bonds would. the turn around would be almost instant, putting money back into states and local economies most importantly it would put people back to work. i realize some people would say why not a hundred thousand or a million, be cause that kind of money back to the people would lead to absolut chaos with no one going back to work, people trying to control other peoples money ... the court system would be virtually shut down and nothing would get produced. most americans total debt isnt more than twenty or so thousand dollars, so if our congress bailed the people out with a $50,000.00 stimulus package then most of us would be debt free we would be able to buy and purchase all kinds of products and even be abale to give something to out favored charities and other programs. the revenue created from sales taxes would put the money back into the national treasury and eeven if we had to pay a small 5 or 6% tax on that kind of stimulus package it would more than aptly jump start our ecomomy. rather than waiting for fannie may, chrysler, ford or g.m.c. to stategise and reconfigure thier market stategies whilst sipping mai- tais in hawaii. which is probably exactly whet our senetors and representatives want anyway so that they can get back to having brand new cars donated to thier campaign mangers and free time share in the bahamas!! thats my take..what do you think ?? by the way i wrote a simular letter to sentor mike crapo of idaho and all i got was a form letter reply. if you agree with this idealistic view i urge you to e-mail your representative or congressman.
