I’ll Show You A Stimulus Plan

July 8, 2009 · Filed Under Opinion

What we should have done instead of passing that ridiculous Obama stimulus plan that was nothing but $787 billion in pork, is pass something real and tangible.

If the Dems want to go the socialist route, then let’s do that. How about we give every single man and woman in America that’s 21 years of age or older a check for $1 million.

If you’re 21 years of age or older and in the country legally, you get $1 million bucks — tax free.

Think about that. It would cost a fraction of what the phony stimulus plan cost and would put real money in people’s pockets.

I just wonder what the implications long-term of something like that would be? It would cost the government little, but I wonder what the long-term societal impact of something like that would be.

Would it end up being a net positive for the country? Would there be unforeseen consequences?

Before you jerks start emailing me about this, I’m not trying to claim this as my idea. I’ve heard it suggested before, but I really gave it some thought today.

Instead of pissing money away on phony global warming and porky special interests, imagine if we just gave a bunch of money back to the people.
