What would YOU spend your $3,271 Bailout Check on? A “Bailout” to “Believe in”

$1 Trillion Bailout/Stimulus combined package!?!?

As discussions go on and on over whom to Bailout next, and with how much Taxpayer money to add directly to the National Debt, the Pay-Go crowd (what Democrats mean by that is, Pay for Votes and Go unaccountable) prepares a new Stimulus plan. AP: The latest federal moves raised U.S. commitments to contain the financial crisis to nearly $7 trillion.

With $700 Billion (TARP) already half used and a limitless list of those with their hand out to gobble (yep, had to have a Thanksgiving reference lol) up the funds, a new/fresh $700 Billion is being looked at. Some Democrats say that well over $1 Trillion in “stimulus” may be needed to “help” the US economy. Let’s just call it an even $1 Trillion and be down with it…

$1 Trillion would provide a Bailout to each and every American citizen (as reported on Fox) $3,271. If we’re going to have a “Bailout” and a “Stimulus” then perhaps they should be one and the same.

A Bailout we can Believe in, or at least participate in…

WARNING: SARCASM (in part)

A Check of $3,271 to each and every US Citizen would provide that new “Trickle Up” BS Obamanomic (latest incarnation) screwballs are pushing. Of course, Democrats don’t want you to have control of any money, YOU are the ATM machine for their $pending $pree! If they really meant it, YOU could (with your $3,271 Check in hand) help all the following

Every Parent could put into the BANK their child’s $3,271 to actually save for that Child’s own future College Education (helping the Child for College and the Bank, call this section the Leave No Professor Behind act). Yes… No???? Hasn’t Obama PROMISED to help kids afford College… That would help!!!

People behind on their Mortgages would have the cash to help catch up on their Mortgage payments! That would help the Homeowners (DIRECTLY) and the Banks. Hasn’t recent discussion been about how to help the Homeowners directly?!?! And then the Banks can use this cash they get from back payments to Buy up other Banks as they are so anxious to do.

People who have broken down cars (count me in this one) could use the Check as a down-payment on a new Hybrid (yeah, right) vehicle. Wouldn’t that help keep the Big-3 going? You know, actually being able to EARN money by having to meet a demand for cars!?!?! That would help the Big-3, dealerships, Junk yards (for all those old cars), etc… as well as Financing Firms.

Those not paying any Federal Income Tax might actually then have an Adjusted Gross Income to FINALLY raise them to the level of owing Federal Income Tax. Won’t that help them FEEL A PART of the “Rich” crowd that actually has to Pay taxes!?!?

Perhaps local municipalities will have more revenue as some may be able to Pay their back Property taxes with the $3,271?

The local Malls will swell with teenagers shopping for the latest Video game attachments and/or games. Won’t that help Retailers?!?!

Farmers would actually be able to keep their Farms, as citizens would be able to make the trip to the local Grocery stores again. Restaurants will be able to retain Employees (good to keep unemployment down) with some of that $3,271 of those shopping again stop by for Meals once again.

I could afford to go to Vegas in the middle of this Winter and go warm up, Michigan gets too cold.

What would YOU do with your $3,271? Call Obama and the Democrat leadership and DEMAND YOUR BAILOUT CHECK!

Feel free to let us know what you would use your BAILOUT for or use this thread as serious Bailout/Stimulus discussion. A mix of the two can be informative and fun (and therefore therapeutic).

    of Alaska’s combined Permanent Fund Dividiend and the “Energy Rebate” this year; $3269 per capita as I recall. There is a program for putting half of a minor child’s dividend into a college savings account or to buy fixed price college classes at the UA. However, there’s usually a run on the flat screens etc, and a lot of it goes to Alaska Airlines to get to Mexico or Hawaii.

      You reminded me of a Diary that I’d been considering doing since the CRA induced Mortgage meltdown began. Perhaps we can inspire someone to write it/this in more detail…

      We continue to hear about how Property values have fallen upwards of 30% across the Country. Little discussed, was how Democrats rejoiced at the CRA affects on local Municipality revenues as Property values ballooned and Tax revenues went up, allowing them (in turn) to ramp up their wasteful spending!! They didn’t care whether people could afford the homes, or risk to Banks, how it was pricing still others out of the Market, etc… as long as they got their Tax Revenues based on the OVER-INFLATED RATES!

      Now that Property values are down WHERE ARE THE PROPERTY ADJUSTMENTS!?!?! Each State is different, but most States that have a Property Tax have some mechanisms by which you can CHALLENGE your “Fair Market Value” of your home and therefore the amount of Taxes owed annually. You are most likely due a REBATE!!!

      GO DEMAND YOUR 30% PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION!

        a Democrat like Todd Stroger

        He just raised taxes and now says he doesn’t have enough money.

        I Voted Against Todd Stroger and for the Republican Candidate in 2006! I Can’t wait to vote again and cast my vote Against Todd Stroger again!

        • DavidS1787

          a Counnty Board President Todd Stroger (D) Cook County,ILLINOIS

          He just raised taxes and now says he doesn’t have enough money.

          I Voted Against Todd Stroger and for the Republican Candidate in 2006! I Can’t wait to vote again and cast my vote Against Todd Stroger !

          Since Chicago,IL. is Obama’s home town I wonder if Todd will hit him up for some of the bail out money?

          Vote Republican in 2010 and get Stroger out of Office.

    USA has spent or has promised to spend 6.5 trillion. On worthless paper no one in their right mind would buy. Which is why they snookered the gov into buying it. Because no one else worth their salt would.

    Hilarious.

    Id spend canadian dollars. Then when Obama tries to to do his vodoo on the energy sector, and the CDN dollar rises, you can sell and at least make some money. Oh wait, cap gains is going to be 50%. Id spend the money on booze.

    It makes the rest of it seem less painful.

    I used my gubmint ATM card to buy food and necessities, but there were lots of people out there getting new tattoos and paying for hookers. I think we’d see something similar with this “stimulus.” Come to think of it, why hasn’t anyone reported on what people spent their last economic stimulus check on?

    If I were to get another “stimulus” check I’d pay the credit card bills down to zero and use any remainder to sell my house. It’s overtaxed and insurance is ridiculous. I need to get into a house that the county appraises lower, and where homeowners insurance will be lower.

    would be better than this bs directly to Banks that just then hold the funds.

    I don’t know. Use it to relocate to Ireland or another economicly sane locale to pick up one of the jobs that will move there after The One’s taxes and regulations cripple our economy? Plus I want to get out of dodge before the Re-education, Orientation and Social Education camp rosters get finalized.

    Beware the ROSE.

    Paul-ites (Ron Paul) rants/raves banned… thankfully so….. this is NOT one of those …. (thought disclaimer was needed due to my title line, to avoid any Paul-ite pile-ons)

    I was poking around Google about “Stimulus” and came across that Title and just couldn’t resist passing along the laugh – Daily Paul (giggle): video with comments… at least he patterned his Site title after the DailyKooks and didn’t try “Paul State” or something…. (giggle turns to laughter) …

    The man had always been a tad “Perot,” but at one time in life seemed somewhat sensible, reasonable, etc…. I guess he’s more interested in being “out-there” and the Celebrity it brings him than “being helpful” that at one time he once was! (sigh)

    Anyway…. anyone and in any way these latest notions of stimulus get pointed out as ridiculous ain’t all bad! He’d be fun if he were in the Senate though… sure he’ll never bother, he enjoys the obscureness of being one in the big pond of the House, in the Senate he’d actually have to stand up and filibuster all the time or be shown as a fraud…

    intent of Post is to re-kindle $TIMULU$ discussion… NOT PAUL TALK but I had to ponder why it seems that all Libertarians have gone off the deep end and to the “weird” side post-9/11.
