We still have not addressed the important part. What are we going to do about the millions of illegals and generational poor. Throwing money at them does not help. It actually encourages them to do less.
As for SS and whatnot, I agree, we have already established that, but that has nothing to do with the poor. SS is supposed to be a guarantee in exchange for a lifetime of payments of which I have no choice but to make. Those who do not contribute to SS should not be able to withdraw from SS.
I took a minute to think about what you wrote. About how my proposed (well, not mine, just an entertaining email that highlights the frustration of some fiscally conservative American taxpayers) would be too expensive. Does that mean you think the stimulus bill and bail outs should have been scrapped? We could have given every taxpaying citizen 200-500K dollars. That would have solved our entire economy problem! All homes could be owned or at least not foreclosed, new car sales would skyrocket, those in "dead" areas would have the money to move and so on. Instead, we gave it to DB car companies who couldn't manage their way out a paper bag, and to banks that are...well....thieves. It went to feed the red tape state government monsters. I am now on the hook for 50K in taxes just to pay off the deficit, and I have not a damn thing to show for it.
