How's this for a bailout idea

Since our giddy President and Congress are so hell bent on creating money to stimulate the economy, why not put the money closer to the economy that it is supposed to stimulate. For instatnce, just for round figures sake, let's take the $900 B, and divide it pro-rata per the number of House Representatives. (Big States get more, smaller States get less). Then, write the check to each individual State for their amount with the stipulation that all funds spent have to have that State's Legislature approval, and confirmed by that particular State's U.S. House Representatives, who then reports his State's actions to the "stimulus committee" in Washington. In other words, get the Federal Government the hell out of the money trough. That's where 90% of the inefficiency, greed, corruption comes from. The money is not lost, these clowns know exactly where it ends up. Take aware their ability to touch it and control it.
why not just
send $5000 to every adult in the country. This is about $1 trillion.
Things that fail
should be allowed to fail. We have all taken our hits in life. The government has failed, it should be stripped of the money and the people fired and begun again at ground level. Congress has failed. They have all failed. 9/11 was a huge failure-who was fired. Rats lots, food poisoned--failures on the government and others, the firings should happen.
There are so many things they could do that make better sense.
For instance, it galls me to pay an interest rate of 22% on a Citi or Bank of America credit card, when these thugs are getting billions in hand outs. Why not have a suspension of all interest on consumer credit cards for 2 years? How about forcing these banks to reduce all home mortgage interest rates by 3% for the duration of the loan? There will be nothing that trickles down to mainstreet when these bozos get through. We'll be forced to watch as these brave representatives save our Country again......and laugh all the way to the bank!

How bout
closing down Washington and let people keep their money. That would be a stimulus package. LOL
No bailouts
Not now, not ever.
