Simple Financial Plan for Obama
There is a simple solution to the financial dilemma. Money
should be distributed from the bottom up, not the top down.
For only One Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars, every United
States Citizen who filed a tax return in 2007 could be issued
a check for One Million Dollars. This money would pay off
mortgages, credit cards, and other debts, leaving the citizens
of this country debt free. The money would be cycled up from
the individual to the banks, credit card companies, mortgage
companies, pay off education loans, etc. People would invest
this money, save this money or spend this money. This would
truly make the people of this country financially stable and
put an immediate stop on foreclosures and bankruptcies. This
plan is Billions of Dollars less than the President
Bush/Republican Plan. We would stabilize our financial base in
this country and make the American people free of fear of
financial ruin. It would also let the financial crooks that
got us into this problem twisting in their own wind. I know
this sounds goofy…but it is a simple and logical solution. The
citizens of America would totally back such a plan.

1. Uh, try your math again.
$150 million dollars divided among more than 200 million citizens amounts to less than a dollar each.

3. Cost: 150,000,000,000,000, or 150 Trillion.

4. I didn't know that only 150 Americans filed a tax return in 2007.
Wow. Things are worse than I thought.
