The Right Stimulus

I think that all Americans were very hopeful that President Obama would bring to the White House a fresh look at how business in done in Washington. However, after we are nearing the first 100 days of his administration, we the people, the ordinary, working middle class people, cannot feel any change except that we are beginning to see the middle class working people host more anti-tax rallies, anti- lay off rallies and we have seen the cost of living rise, from McDonalds to the price we pay to go into Disneyland.

People are now using their limited resources to pay the rent, utility bills, and eat.
That's why the economy is still in the dumps.

Now we see that the so-called "smart" guys are beginning to voice their doubts about President Obama's administration's ability to lead America and renew trust and prosperity to the people. Instead, we the people, the ordinary people, are not hearing words of hope but words of blame, "blaming the Bush administration, blaming world leaders for not taking care of their financial business, blaming the Iragis, blaming the Rush Limbaughs."

Another $800 billion stimulus package that saves big mega corporations who's failed policies led to this gigantic collapse of our economy and yet leaves the little guy on main street with evictions, loss of jobs, huge 30% interest rates charged by credit card companies that in the past days would put these people jail for usury, and slapping the little guy who can hardly make ends meet with increased car taxes, property taxes, utility taxes, phone taxes, sales taxes, income taxes.

As a middle class America who earns way below $50,000 we are hurting. We are hurting and we see those around us hurting.

Not living in Beverly Hills but in the suburbs where real people live, we can see the increased crime rate, the frustrations and pain of the people on main street.

The "RIGHT STIMULUS" includes releasing the people on main street from the huge burden of tax, spending and fee hikes. Give the people $25,000 per family and you will see the economy rise. Give the money to the Big corporations, and they will continue to pay the salaries of their big nonproductive staff, luxury vacations etc.

And, everyone believes that "rich people" don't pay taxes. They know how to shelter their money. The ultimate burden of paying back the mess that these "stimuli packages" have brought to Americans is the American tax payer.

And don't blame our friends across the seas. Because they believed in America's hope they invested their money in our nation. If we don't keep their friendship, and they move their loyalties to another major nation such as Russia or China, then
ultimately Americans will suffer again.
