Ok so apparently I'm can expect at the very least $600 from Uncle Sam because of my income and my child. This will supposedly help the economy by encouraging us to spend. While the rebate is only a part of the stimulus package it is a lot of money spent eventhough everyone receiving the rebate doesn't pay income tax. Since I'm way too confrontational and honest I'll never find my way to elected office so I'll take this forum to list other ideas that make more sense to me in helping the current state of the country.
1 - Cut the current price of gas, oil, natural gas 50% by having the government subsidize it. By doing this people will have more money to spend on other things. I have a mid size sedan it cost $40 to fill my tank, 5 years ago it barely costs $20. People are struggling to pay utility bills. If you have to choose between lights and shoes you'll probably do lights. More money in one's pockets yields more consumers.
2 - Zero tolerance for employers who hire illegal immigrants. Hello, the Americans who are unemployed aren't the affluent. They are the ones who are getting priced out of being laborers, carpenters, etc. We don't need more jobs we have enough jobs, we need less people. 12 million new jobs will be a heck of an increase in production. I say 12 million because that's the go to number for illegal immigrants and if you hear the liberal sympathizers tell it all 12 million are hard working individuals who just want a better life. Ship them back from where they came with pamphlets on the labor and civil rights movement so that they can improve their OWN countries.
3 - Bring production back home. I realize that it's cheaper for us to import things from China but at what cost? Give large companies incentives to keep their production in the USA indefinitely.
4 - End the war in Iraq and bring the troops home. This ridiculous war has cost trillions of dollars. Whether we're there or not some radical totalitarian leader is going to come to power and wish death on America. There are more important things our troops could be doing, like being alive.
5 - Stop rewarding laziness. There are people in this country who are in need and only need one small incentive to help them become productive. Only give government assistance to those who truly need it (not wanting to work is not a need). Most seniors need help, the working poor need help. Professional baby mammas don't, illegal immigrants really don't. If you support programs that improve education or relieve necessary debt (utilities, rent, prescription drugs) and teach people to budget wisely you breed better consumers.
Those are my five suggestions. None of which have a snowballs chance in hell of happening. I can dream.
