So we just mail everyone a check and what does tha solve? at least people would have a job under Obama's plan...not just a handout. i suggest you educate yourself before you post something so outrageous.
Take a look at FDR and the New Deal, projects like Hoover Dam and expanding our roads, bridges, and tunnels. Don't you think those were hefty investments at that time? But it got a lot of people working again and helped just start a sluggish economy...
last bit of class: the last economic slowdown we had that compared to this in the US was the Great Depression. know what it took to cure that? A FUCKING WORLD WAR THAT KILLED TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. So before you run your mouth, understand the gravity of the situation and that SOMETHING big must be done! like major infrastructure programs and give taxpayers a tangible return on their money and puts people to work!
Keep in mind about 75% of our economy is completely dependant upon consumer purchases and transactions, i.e., what you and I and everyone else purchases. So if people get back to work, they start spending. Companies in turn expand operations and hire new workers, which creates more companies, more jobs, more profit, lower prices, etc, etc!! And that kids is Capitalism 101, abbreviated of course
