Who is really getting the money?

A $145 billion stimulus package centered on tax breaks for consumers and businesses to rejuvenate the lagging U.S. economy?

Does this make sense? Have similar stimulus packages in the past ever really changed anything? NO!

All these give away are just bandages. The help maybe for a few months and the thing even get worse. What is it about the tax fear in the US? Except for big cooperation taxes have never been high. Just look at other industrialized countries like Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. However, these countries have an excellent Health Care, School and Social System. In the US we only have uninsured and poor people, or extreme rich people. And the government gives these rich people the biggest tax brake but spends all the money collected on wars or substitutes for wealth cooperation.

President Bush and his government points out the $800 for the consumers but does not name the millions he will give to rejuvenate businesses. Don’t let the $800 blind you! He did this before, gave everyone $300 and cooperation $300 millions in tax-cuts. I know $800 is a lot for some folk. But is it far? Why does everyone have to pay to make big investors happy?

What’s wrong with the congress? Don’t the democrats have the majority? Do the really believe this works? At least Bush and the congress receive criticism form the Democratic presidential candidates. Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) said it would "leave out tens of millions of working Americans," and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) said Bush's proposal "makes no sense." Even former Senator John Edwards (N.C.) commented by saying Bush is "making matters worse." (quoted by Washington Post)
