If we want to “help” 5,000,000 unemployed people, which I think is about double the number of lost jobs in the past few months, what would happen if the government just wrote them all an annual check for $50,000?
It would be 5,000,000 x 50,000 = 250,000,000,000.
In other words, instead of a $900 billion “stimulus” package that helps almost nobody, the government could simply give 5 million unemployed people annual checks for $50,000 for 3 years, and still be LESS than this proposed “stimulus” bill. ( mlaconsult at The People's Cube)
Snort! Can you believe anyone would suggest such a thing? Where's the nuance? Where's the tortuously byzantine pathway through bureaucracy? Geez. Common sense is just so...common! How does that make one look and feel im-por-tant? Priorities people, priorities!
