I am a democrat and I can tell you that people who came up with this kind of plan should be fired immediately. This is the worst kind of give away ever imagined.

What the heck is it going to solve the housing crisis, create jobs or any other inspirational idea of any kind? Even a moron can do better then this wasteful first full dole out crap.

I like the DemocRATs comment on this bill it will create or save 4 million. How in the hell are they ever going to prove that they saved a job. This all socialist bullshit.

We are the home of the brave and the land of the free. What Americans have on their hands right now is the beginning of another civil war of sorts. Our governemnt...in the European model...has begun to tax and oppress its citizens to the extreme.American's will be cleaning house in Washington by the end of this year. That is not your concern...

However: If we fail in that regard. the whole world will eventually suffer the consequences.

Shouldn't the government be handling more important problems instead of creating like they did with this bill. Or is it just cover up for all of the horrible things your doing?

tax breaks dont do anything for people that dont have jobs..i dont have unemployment or food stamps so i guess this package does nothing but Shit on me

[caltvater]

This report left out a major detail about the expanded CORBRA benefit. Sure the government will pay 65%, but there is a NEW hidden tax on employer based health insurance to pay for it. So you get an extra $13 per week, but your health insurance might increase by $40. Just read the bill.

Ok, If I take out minors, we are still left with 225,000,000 people we lost a whopping 25 Percent of people. In fact, lets make this easy. the average household in America is 2.5 people 300,000,000/2.5 = 120,000,000 households. That leaves us with only 1 in 2.7 house holds receiving money. In order for every household to get an even share, they could only receive about $7500 , not $20,000.

First of take all the minors out of the equation and take out everyone who is not the head of a household. Oh, but that would be subtracting which seems too hard for you.

900,000,000,000 / 300,000,000 = 3000 dollars. Who wouldn't be receiving that money? I know that not all 300 million people would get it, but in order to receive that much ($20,000), only 1 out of every 7 people in the USA could recieve money.
