Think about it. And while you're at it, add in the cost of bush's little adventure in Iraq.

Imagine the jump start to the economy if every family of four in the country was handed $13,300 right about now.

1. Sounds good, except

that within a week, a gallon of milk would cost you $25.

2. Gee if they would have just gave us the money

we would have spread the wealth around and stimulated the economy, problem solved. What am I thinking we need to give them the money than they will build factories to make stuff. The only problem is the factory is in China and we don't have any money to buy anything.

3. If Bush Loaned Everyone $3k Right Now

it might cause a bump in consumer spending. But it wouldn't go much good without a financial sector.

4. What if we just went over to Iraq and gave them

all the money we have spent killing them.

5. re:

When it comes to multipliers, fiscal policy tends to have a larger multiplier than direct cash because while each person won't necessarily spend the money they get, the government spends 100% of it the first time around.

6. The last official act

of any government is to loot the treasury.
