shit i know i could do a lot better with even $3000, than the $300 i got last time.. Well I guess I can be grateful for the $300 I got.

I agree that more debt is not the solution, but, this is a very well thought out plan. Good luck with it.
-
I disagree. Why focus on a small handful of troubled industries, when our government could give millions of people a chance to bat.
-
it will never work. more debt is not the solution. the US gov should bailout the troubled industries and take ownership of them and hire back US employees, maybe make some money for all of us, some will call it socialism, as if capitalism is perfect. we need a marriage of socialism and capitalism and a good voting system to keep greedy people from controlling the US resources.
has you solution been tried at a small scale?

Hey YouTube viewers! Do you think the government puts your tax money and Social Security payments in a "lock box" just waiting for you to reuse it? Ha!

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you need to take a step back and look at the reality and feasibility of your plan. We all like to defend our ideas, but take a step back and look at your plan as an economist would. I guess this is YouTube, and we're supposed to just have fun, so I'll leave it there. Best of luck to you!

You also ask about my plan. My plan is the Obama plan. I have faith in his multifaceted approach, not in a scheme to issue credit cards funded with federally borrowed money so wealthier individuals can run up even more debt. Debt lies at the heart of the country's problems, be it homeowner debt, trade debt, national debt. Your plan is also regressive; it doesn't help the poor and unemployed, and it doesn't do anything about the many other problems facing our country. Obama's plan does.
Not sure what kind of job you had, but I suggest you study the economics of the bailout packages. YOU and we all are indebted for the money the government is giving out in bailout - except you do not get to spend any of it. I'd be happy to indulge your arguments Stephanie but you need to read up on govt/national debt as well as stimulus packages vs direct consumer help to trigger spending. Even Obama will have to do that directly or indirectly as you will see. Thanks for the input.

Once again, you have not responded to any of my specific comments about your plan. Let me ask you simply: Why does your plan reward those who make more money and not help those who make very little or who have lost their jobs? My job was outsourced, so I will not be paying taxes this year. How does your credit card plan help the many millions of people like me who have lost their jobs?

My plan does not "reward" anyone. It gives people between 5000 and 25000 (average about 10000) IF they need it, are legal Americans, previously gainfully employed (not necessarily at this moment) who paid into the system that would be letting them reuse the money THEY had paid into it. So even someone who worked as a $10000 a year person would get help. But, sorry, no, they would not get $25000. There are several government programs that give away money to the very poor. This is for middle class

Sorry about your loss of job. You should be helped. And ideally from taxes YOU paid into the system IF you NEED and WANT some extra cash so it can be spent right away into the economy and repaid back. If you want to wait for a job to trickle down from the stimulus plan (that should have required bailout recipients not to outsource) feel free to wait.
I support Obama, but just because Obama puts forth a weak plan that has pork barrel, or dubious projects, I will not follow it lemming like.

I realize that you mean well, and I applaud you for trying to think creatively. However, you never respond to my specific criticisms of your plan. Your plan increases indebtedness; it favors those who make more money, and it does nothing about the other needs of the country that I've listed previously. Why not fly over the poorest cities and shovel money out of an airplane? That would at least benefit poor people and the unemployed, which your plan does not. Keep thinking, however.

I applaud your interest. :-) But, not your socialism (though we seem to be on our path to some socialism in the next few years thanks to the dumb evil bankers' of the last several years).
I did NOT claim to solve world hunger and every problem. I am guaranteeing jump starting the economy. I do not see a plan from you to do that.
My plan gives people money they need & choose to get/use. Bailout/stimulus plan adding to ALL our debt with no choice & nothing in our pocket & no economic recovery.
