Tell Congress & the Bush Administration that the Bush Economic Stimulus Plan won't work!
The Issue
While it's tough to resist "free" money, we must. The $150 billion Bush Economic Stimulus Plan just won't work. Most likely, Americans will either pay off debt or spend the funds at Walmart or other super corporations... which may help create a few new low-paying retail jobs, but it will most likely stimulate the Chinese economy... not ours! Don't be fooled. Resist the impulse, and do not be bought.
This $150 billion shoud be spent on rebuilding American infrastructure, such as a new alternative fuels superhighway, the electrical grid, roads, or bridges. This will create new jobs that are skilled and higher paying... and it will ensure that all the $150 billion stays in the U.S. economy. Let's call it the New, New Deal of the 21st Century. The old New Deal of the 20th Century is what lifted this country out of the Great Depression.
According to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, we only need $120 billion to provide national health care for all. Hmm... a $600 shopping spree at Walmart vs. health care? This is a no-brainer.
Resist the "free" money and let Washington know that you are no fool and you can't be bought! If we are going to go MORE into debt and spend $150 billion, then please use the money responsibly so we have something to show for it!
