No matter the math debate, the money is on the taxpayer’s back whether given to a business or to the taxpayer themselves, . . its not like the government is giving away their hidden stash of gold or sold a monument to create a new and nontaxpayer funded source. Given a choice (choice = vote) of what entity should receive an economic bailout package, a failing business sector (due to its greed, mismanagement, and economic hard times) or the adult citizen taxpayer(s) who could spend the resources where they see fit (for good or bad still spent or invested or saved), I’d vote for the taxpayer. Even if those businesses fail and workers lose their jobs, if the bailout was big enough, they’d weather the job lost as the taxpayer boon creates new job opportunities. Business isn’t guaranteed a survival line, it’s business, but people shouldn’t pay for their greed and failure, not just greed or failure. Will an economic bailout of these and other businesses truly guarantee that they will continue to stay in business in the short term, in the long term, and what of the taxpayer themselves, will they have a job to fund them as hard economic times means fewer with jobs and more on government assistance. Where’s the money then?

How about this! Every citizen within the U.S. takes; let’s say $400.00, cash out of the bank on Friday. Then Saturday and Sunday, do not use any electric, natural gas, do not drive, and only shop with small local vendors within their community. Only use cash. Then, let’s see what the numbers look like on Monday.

Ok…Here is the deal….No matter how much we complain our Government has us all by the crotch! They make the laws and they break them. If we are to get ahead in this once great land..we the people need to step up to the plate and not allow our Government to squeeze more money out of us. Move closer to work and ride a bike. Stop eating out. Stop using the televison as your main source of entertainment. Instead take your children to the park..play games learn something about yourself. Plant a garden. Go back to the days of the Walton’s and find that a simple life without using much Government assistance is a better life for all.

I still think it should be given to the taxpayers, and not just those of us with mortgages.

Whomever thought they were so clever with math is an idiot. Before you start giving advice learn your math basics first…

When Bush gave the american tax payers 1800 for a family of 5 the Dems all bitched and complained about that too.

Besides, if you look at it on a per-mortgage basis, I’m guessing the number of reipients would be closer to 100 million, not 200 million. Therefore, the 700 billion could give every mortgagee about 7 grand to catch up, pay down, glide for a few months, whatever….
