ImWithStupid Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Then when they don't...they get screwed royally. So I'm willing to bet that would hurt our economy more than help it. That, and if you think about it, you're getting your tax refund to replenish the debt you went into in the holiday season. People would go into the same amount of debt with your plan, but just buy cooler . However, that would the citizenry in the long run, because then they can't get out of their debt (people are too stupid to spend within their means), so they'd just get boned. Actually I'm fairly confident it would be the taxpayer who would get "boned" when people spend beyond their means. I'm sure the federal government would bail them out, like the idiots who work at someplace like Kinko's for $8 per hour, and goes and buys a $300,000 house. After all the US isn't the land of opportunity anymore, it's the land of "no personal responsibility". Quote
jokersarewild Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 I was actually talking about the taxpayers, IWS. They are generally the same people as the citizenry. And yeah, I wish I could afford a 300k house on 8 an hour. If only math worked that way. sigh Quote RoyalOrleans is my real dad!

Guest big kitty Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I was going to say something clever like instead of giving 700 billion dollars to bail out failed buisness, split the money and give everyone in America a real sitmulus check. But I am not going that route instead I think we should all just start selling our virginity. We'd make a killing in the market place. Oh wait Dammit I forgot I gave mine away for free...... Quote
