A Better Economic Recovery Plan

I came across this on the Internet. It is not my plan, but it should be considered as a viable solution to restarting the American economy. Whoever created it deserves all the credit.

I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college – it’ll be there

Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car – create jobs

Invest in the market – capital drives growth

Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it…instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( “vote buy” ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG – liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here’s my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn’t.

Sure it’s a crazy idea that can “never work.”

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC .

And remember, this plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Now this is a plan I can support.

When is Now

This is an excellent article written by Douglas MacKinnon at Townhall. Unfortunately, most of this has already happened or is happening.

When

When: The Islamists obtain a nuclear weapon, they will use it against the United States or one of our allies.

When: Our politicians shamelessly finish selling-out to get the Hispanic-American vote, the Mexican Army and its drug cartels will completely control parts of formerly U.S. sovereign territory.

When: Liberals enthusiastically give national health insurance, free education, drivers licenses, and sanctuary, to illegal aliens, they not only dishonor the rule of law, but spit in the face of the millions of immigrants who came here legally and proudly became U.S. citizens.

When: Conservative and reasoned talk radio is silenced, your voice, your opinion, and your rights, will diminish in significance.

When: A liberal President joins forces with the liberal majority in Congress, your taxes will go up, capitalism and success will be increasingly assailed, wind-fall profits taxes will become doctrine, Jimmy Carter-like interest rates will be revisited, English will become an optional language, the unborn will be at greater risk, terrorists will be treated like criminals, the Patriot Act will be abolished, border security will be even more of an afterthought, the Supreme Court will be gerrymandered left, the 2nd Amendment will come under renewed attack, and political correctness will be the law of the land.

When: A liberal President joins forces with the liberal majority in Congress, homosexual marriage will be pushed in every state, Christianity will be further devalued and mocked, secular multiculturalism will become the favored “religion,” the “North American Union” will look more plausible, and socialized medicine will grow as your health-care decreases.

When: The United States loses its preeminence in space, The People’s Republic of China — with its aggressive military space program — will control everything from here to the moon. Included in that control, will be their complete access to our satellites in low and geosynchronous orbit. Satellites that enable our intelligence and military capabilities, our communications, our economy and our very way of life.

When: The far-left liberals in the media and education complete their take-over of “entertainment” and “higher-education” — in conjunction with finalizing their Stalinist censorship of conservative thought — then it is our children who will pay the ultimate price.

When: Committed far-left liberal “journalists” leak one too many national security secrets — simply because they can — they, their families, and the city they inhabit, may ironically, be on the destructive end of their treasonous act.

When: We give up on the dream of America that was so forcefully and heroically espoused by our Founding Fathers, we will be left with nothing more than a faint memory of what was once, the greatest nation on the face of the earth.

When.

The New Dollar Bill

This is what the dollar bill should look like based on the current political climate. If George Washington could only see the corruption of our present day political leaders!
