I have enough of this economy. People can't afford to pay their mortgages, can't afford to buy food, can't afford to buy gas, and they get laid off by the minute.
I am outraged of this administration's plan to spend $700 BILLION to "rescue" US financial sector. And who's going to pay for that It's us the taxpayers. And where is this money going to go To the same institutions that cause this mess in the first place, those people who live in million of dollars mansions and have gazzillion dollars in their bank account.
If we have to pay for it anyway, why don't the government just give each household $1 million It will solve A LOT of our problems. We will definitely feel the effect right away. I think it's WAY EFFECTIVE, it will stimulate the economy right away. People will pay off their debts, their mortgages, will be able to buy food (it's a fact that more and more middle class families go to the food bank because the can't afford to buy food), will be able to pay for medicines, will be able to send their kids to colleges, will be able to open businesses, and they will not have to worry about the gas prices and retirement for a while, and maybe they can finally afford to get environmentally friendly cars, houses, etc.
The US people have done a lot for their government, maybe it's time for the government to do something for them.
We will send this to The White House and to both Democratic and Republican Party's websites.
I spent the entire morning reading through the stories you all have been leaving about the struggle to keep a roof over your heads. It is clear that the people in power have completely forgotten who actually built this country while they hand out checks to those who broke it.

Seeing this grow makes me feel like I am finally not fighting this alone. It is painful to watch our neighbors struggle to buy groceries while those big banks get a free pass, but your support proves that we are all tired of the same old excuses.

700 billion is insane. My family is struggling to keep the lights on and these guys get handed a golden parachute. Fix it.

Give the money to the people if youre gonna spend it anyway. At least we would spend it at local stores instead of hoarding it in offshore accounts.
