  • I'd rather they kept the cash because you just can't let banks fail, no matter how heinous the amounts of money they need seem.
  • I think I heard about $25,000. Yes I think they should have just mailed everyone a check if they were going to spend it anyway. Then we all could make our mortgage payment. (Saves Banks) And probably buy a new car. (Buy American) Saves the big 3. Problems solved. It is enough $$ to buy some stuff but not enough to go quitting your job.
  • I think that a substantial amount of that $8 trillion should be proportionately redistributed back to those who actually pay taxes, yes. To those who make no contriubution to the financial workings of the country, no. In that case, your 306 million divisor would be excessive, in my opinion. I don't have that number. By any chance, do you? +5
  • You need to consider where this money is actually coming from. It is stolen money, from either the people paying the vast majority of taxes (primarily small business owners, corporations and higher income folk) or from our children who will be paying higher tax rates in the future just to pay the interest on the gigantic loan. With all of the money that was created out of thin air, the inflation alone will kill us. Some stimulus package. Even if they did just write us all a check, it would still be redistribution of wealth, where we would be taking money from those who rightfully earned it and giving it to those who did not. What then happens to the incentive to earn and succeed?
  • I know what to do with it better than they do!
  • except the US population does not pay equal amount in taxes. It's mostly business and the rich. That's who will be getting most of the money...
  • My reading was just over $63,000.00. Like everything else this administration believes, they think they know better than we do, how to save or spend our own money. Don't know about you, but I'm all grown up now and I can take very good care of my self. Thank you very much. Have been doing it for quite some time now and I'm still now over drawn at the bank, behind on my mortgage, owe the grocer or take vacations I can't afford. I've been thinking for my self for nearly my entire life. How 'bout that for self sufficient.
  • Well with the new money pledged, 11.6 Trillion/306,210,000 people $37,882.50 per head. I'm suing.
  • The cash was already stolen by your former leader and his elitist shithead friends. We will never recover. Don't blame this one on poor Obama.
  • This bailout stuff has only been around since the 1930's. There are numerous occasions when up to that point in American history people, organizations and whole towns were turned down. The reason stated was that "...the United Sates government is not in the business of subsidizing the country." Nothing is "too big" to fail. There are currently 93,000,000 individuals in the US that are unemployed. I wonder if they could get a loan at a bailed out bank. How many bailed out banks didn't foreclose on a mortgage or didn't repossess a car. Nothing is "too big" to fail. If mismanagement runs a business into the ground it isn't my problem. Don't you remember when all of those auto execs flew to Washington in their private corporate jets and begged for help. At GM management and Washington stole the pensions of those people who were just doing their job and trying to have a life. Chrysler/Jeep $2,000,000,000 (thats billion) of YOUR tax dollar bailout went to Italy when Fiat bought Chrysler/Jeep for a song.
  • What one must realize is the USA has no currency of its own. Every "dollar" in circulation is borrowed from the Federal Reserve Corporation owned mainly by the Rothschilds. We pay interest on everyone of those dollars to the Federal Reserve Corporation. It is for all practical purposes impossible to get out of debt to the Federal Reserve and the Rothschild family. President Kennedy tried and was assassinated for the attempt.
