I found a website yesterday that gave a break down of where all that money is going. I’m almost speechless. It’s the biggest joke I think I’ve ever seen in my life. I am a firm supporter of Obama and I really thought he was going to do something good with this stimulus, but it’s a huge waste of money and time.
If I understood it correctly, the tax break for working people is going to actually gain them only about $7.70 a week. What is that? They can barely buy toilet paper with that. There was another section listed under Poverty. He’s planning to help eliminate poverty. I was like it’s about time! Then I read on, he’s going to give people who draw supplemental security income a one time check for $250.00. How is that going to help?
This stimulus plan reads more like it’s for the fat cats. Big businesses who obviously don’t know how to handle money. Instead of giving money to businesses, give it to us so we can spend it. That works two-fold. The businesses would generate revenue and we the consumers would get things we actually need.
I’ve read in other places that the proposed breakdown of funds doesn’t quite cover it, so maybe there’s more to be done with it. But this break down was highly disappointing.
