Stimulate this!
Tax breaks. If the treasury doesn't need our money, they shouldn't take it in the first place. Judging from the hole in the budget, it needs every penny it can gets. This crisis wasn't caused by tax payments, so cutting back on taxes isn't going to fix it.
Consumer spending isn't going to get us out of this mess, consumer spending is what got us in it. We don't need leaders telling us to bring more money (that we don't have) to corporations, we need leaders telling us to live by our means.
Our beloved president is not handing out free money. This is money that we put up to finance his silly war and other costly endeavors. He is offering us a cigar from our own box.
Riddle me this. If a tax break is supposed to stimulate the economy, then we're supposed to spend it. So who benefits from it? Us, or the corporations we spend it on? Why not give the money directly to City Group and cut out the middle man?
