The Democrats and Republicans are definitely at odds over the stimulus package. I have to admit that I am in agreement with the Republicans regarding parts of the package that appear to do very little to get the economy moving. If you don't have a job, and the banks aren't giving loans, what does it matter if you get a tax break when you buy a new car?
The same thing goes with buying a new house, who can afford to do it and where do you get the money to do it?
Seems to me the package needs to hit the key problems - getting people back to work and forcing the banks to start doing business by worrying more about a small profit as opposed to a large profit, at least until things stabilize.
Once again I stress INFRASTRUCTURE projects. I am convinced they are the way to go. I realize it is government money, but we tax payers need roads, bridges and tunnels to get around, so they are things worth investing our tax dollars in.
As far as the development of home grown energy, energy companies, working with the government can begin these projects. The energy companies will be the ones to make the profits, they should be brave enough to put up the risk capital to get things started.
Write your representatives, push for infrastructure projects, which can get people working now and insure that all of the businesses dependent on the working class will be able to continue functioning.
Americans working together is the only way to beat the current economic situation.
Its Common Sense!
