I believe the system is too broken and corrupt to be fixed at this point and we simply need a new system- not an ungodly amount of money whose numeric figure was pulled, literally, out of thin air for, literally, shock value. Isn't economics a science after all? What the hell is this we don't know EXACTLY how much we need or EXACTLY where it will go mentality? This whole thing stinks to high heaven! If it was a legit plan to socialize the economy for the people, that would be one thing. But is is not- regardless of how the PR consultants who have "consulted" the politicians on how to sell it to us have packaged it. It is a plan that will effectively give us the fascism that those in power have been slobbering for since 1980 when the deregulatory wheels for this day were put in motion.
One thing I'll give the repubs credit for: They finally found a way to push the scare button for everyone. They really got us this time. But it's important to remember that this is how they operate: make everyone think the end of the world is nigh and they'll be so frightened they'll let us do whatever we want and then give us credit for "saving" them when they don't lose the ability to buy that flat screen TV they can't afford. Don't be a sheep! Stand firm as we have against the war and every other wretched policy this administration has shoved up our asses. Don't let fear cripple good judgment. This is America- home of the BRAVE! We'll survive whatever happens but we cannot give away all of our money to a few greedy, satanic, little fat men.
Here are some links. Be sure to read the third article which presents a common sense practical reality check and workable solution to the problem- that does NOT involve draining the treasury to the benefit of the very very few.
Happy reading! (Feedback, disagreement, debate: WELCOME!!!)
