A $300 Billion Fiscal Stimulus Plan?

October 23, 2008 RSS Feed Print

Alec Phillips over at Goldman Sachs looks for Dems to propose a fiscal stimulus plan in the "$150 billion to $200 billion range, with risk to the high side." A bit smaller if McCain is elected, larger if Obama wins.

Im no Wall Street genius, but I'm a military wife and I see this from another perspective. My husband works 14-16 hrs a day and gets paid the same as a person who works 6-8 hrs a day if they're the same rank. So he cannot work another job.He's been in 21 yrs now. The kids coming in now are getting upwards of $20,000 to emlist (in certain job fields).And people like us get nada. The last stimulus check did go for bills and a one time splurge of season tickets to 6 Flags. We dont do credit cards so that we dont get into debt like MOST of the military people we know.So we dont have $$$ most of the time. We pay 1400 a month is child support for 2 kids.And he cant not pay-b/c he's military.Meanwhile,the State of Texas is getting paid by tax money to collect my measly $400 a month and it almost never comes.LOL.
Im starting to agree w/the poster above,why not give a huge amount per family and invest in our countries people,nit crooked companies. Im sure even though they're screaming bankruptcy they are including their limos and 8 figure salaries in their budgets! If each family had a sunbstantial amount of money we might see some improvement in things. EVen if its only 10,000 per person. Theres gotta be a better way than whats been going on lately.
I think most people would do like the guy said and pay off their debt and fund college and businesses.

I WANT TO KNOW IF WE GET ANYTHING FROM THE NEXT STIMULUS PLAN? IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE IT IS ALL GOING TO CREAT STATE JOBS.
IF THE GOVERNMENT WANT TO GET THE ECONOMY GOING , THEY NEED TO SEND US A CHECK BEFORE CHRISTMAS. WE ARE LOSING OUR JOB FOR A MONTH DURING THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS. NOW WE HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE. PAY BILLS AND TELL MY 6 & 8 YR OLDS THERES NO SUCH THING AS SANTA CLAUSE OR TAKE A CHANCE THAT ELECTRIC, MORTGAGE AND INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL UNDERSTAND============NOT! THEY DON'T WANT TO UNDERSTAND.
OBAMA HOPE YOUR KIDS HAVE A WONDERFUL AND BLESSED CHRISTMAS. WE YOU OPEN ALL YOUR GIFTS, THINK ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO CANNOT DO THAT FOR OUR CHILDREN THIS YEAR. TIME WILL TELL.......
