Another stimulus checks to all of us?

[pennypincher]

Pelosi is trying to push another round of stimulus checks to everyone, but the Senate is stalling it. I say if you can give 700 billion to wall street and 150 billion more to the special interests, how can you vote down 150 billion to us?

seeing that a lot of this bailout isn't calming the market, but will hopefully do so later, assuming that wallstreet wasn't doing all of this on purpose at the end of the bush term to get payback from bush as he was leaving office, it's a real shame that 700 billion bailout wasn't given to us directly as people of this country.

what would that amount to, $5,000 for each of us??? imagine giving everyone in this country a check for $5,000 and letting us pay bills and keep up with inflation. also people could use a percentage of that to spend on the economy as well.

what a boost that would have been. not to mention helping save people from forclosures - which would help the real estate industry, the failure of california, etc. etc. etc.

for once can't we see a bottom up rather than a top down plan?

i don't know about all of you, but i can really use some help right now.

i want to see some more bottom up investment rather than just the popular top down approach.
