If they were going to kill the dollar buy printing more and handing it out the least they could have done is given it to working people who are having a hard time. Not bailed out the big corps. and expect that to save the rest of us.
If they gave a little of that money to everyone, those people could have paid their bills, saved their homes and hell maybe they would have bought one of those fancy new cars the fokes that got the bail out money keep saying we all need to buy. But instead they gave it to greedy already rich people and banks and expected it to just fix everything. When the rest of us knew that was not going to work, just line their pockets some more.
The government pays the banks and the banks still though thousands of people out of their homes. Now the communities have these empty homes that no one is living in so they are making no tax money on them, the utility companies are making nothing on them because there is no one there to use the utilities. And the only trickle down you see is more problems. Because now the utilities are cutting pay and jobs, the towns are cutting pay and jobs and running in the red.
Most fokes if the government gave them 5 or 10 grand they would go out an spend it, in turn putting it back into the economy, creating jobs, saving jobs and keeping businesses afloat. But to give it to something like the auto industry that already has thousands and thousands of last years cars they can not sell, they make new models anyway. And then they expect people who are losing their homes and even people who own their homes fighting to get by in this rough time to run out and buy one. Because it will "help stablize the economy" is just stupid. How many people are going to chose the new car over, health care, feeding their families, educating their families, heating or even possibly saving their homes? Only people that are not really effected by the poor economy anyway.
