Heads In Dark Places

How is it possible, with all the connectedness of todays world, that the financial wizards of Washington  (and the great state of California) can’t quite get a grip on the plight of the normal person in the neighborhood? Even allowing for a very broad interpretation of normal, the wizards still think that they are on a completely different planet than I am. How about, instead of giving the big guys, who spent years working very hard to establish this mess, $25 billion, or $800 billion, or $0.10, we give each adult United States Citizen a paltry $1,000,000? Sounds crazy, right? Socialism you say. How can it be less crazy, or less socialistic, than giving the big 3, banks, creditcard companies, etc. so much of our money? If we passed out the $1million to all the adults, there would be an instant financial boost to the economy. Mortgages would get paid, shoppping would be done, savings put aside, cars bought, credit card bills paid, all, I think, very quickly. That would put an enormous amount of money into the system right away. By the way, this line of thinking came from a credit guy at an auto dealer I was speaking with. It is at least as good an idea as providing taxpayer welfare for all the financial firms that worked so hard to steal everything they could from everyone they could before the inevitable crash occured. Could you use the million? I could. Toto could probably find Kansas again, too. Happy Thanksgiving.
