re: #1119 Shug

The entire “stimulus” package cost the same as giving every American a 1 year holiday from paying payroll taxes

imagine the stimulus that would have created.

can you say Every flight booked. every room booked. best buy sold out. apple store sold out. malls jam packed, etc etc etc.

but instead we get millions to research Hog farts

Uh. No. Did you not notice what happened when the last round of Bush stimulus checks were distributed to the public? They were saved. Used to pay mortgages that were past due. Used to pay off credit card bills. Put in savings accounts for later. During a recession people don’t run out to buy a new iPod. They become thrifty.
