I have to say beforehand that I have almost zero understanding of economy but: Why don't they divide equally the money meant for all of the bailouts and stimulus plans, give each resident of the USA his/her share and that would start moving the economy once again? Or is it just plain stupid? my dad keeps saying EXACTLY the same thing, and actually i think it is a great idea. just imagine how it could benefit us ALL. crime rates would plummet for one thing.

Instead of the money going to private jets for Citi Bank we give the money to the people who owe loans to Citi Bank so Citi Bank still gets the money, but only after people paid off their debts. Why should my money be given to anyone? If someone is foolish enough to take out a loan without having financial security, too bad if they lose 'their' house, and have to become renters.

Originally posted by switching yard I like your idea, OP. They're throwing approx 2 trillion into a black hole and nothing's coming back out of it to better the lives of the average person when they could be using the money to build a new city that would involve all the cutting edge technology. I have not been in favor of any of the bailouts. I think it's throwing good money after bad. The new city idea is very positive and while we're at it, create new banks with new banking rules that actually favor citizens. Outlaw the three G's of the corporate world... greed, gimmicks, and gouging. -------------------------------------- I have an idea for the name of the NEW city. --- Crystal Peak --- -------------------------------------- If we're going to spend $500 Billion , there has to be someone in charge to give us quality. Someone who will make sure subcontractors don't rip us off with a "that's good enough for government work" attitude. I say Donald Trump. He has been ripped off before and knows what to look for. -------------------------------------- As far as location --- California --near the coast. North of Los Angelos. It would help to have a NEW corporate campus nearby. IBM? Intel? Apple?
