I agree Bob. I am not a fan of this program. It targets the wrong point once again. What's the point of taxing us , increasing the deficet and then doing these stupid incentives, which anyone knows will ultimately cost us twice as much down the line in taxes. I figure if we are going to give money away, lets get something in return. Here is an idea. Let's get rid of Welfare. No more free checks. Now lets create the US Urban authority, fund it with welfare savings. Use the cash to create jobs that repair the infa structure of this nation. I don't know about the rest of the US but Ca. has some major roadway improvements needed, Bridge repair, etc. So now that there are all of these people with no free income needing jobs, lets give them some. If your not able to do hard labor, we'll train you to stand or sit in one spot with a slow down sign or stop sign, give you a nice orange uniform, a walkie talkie, and bang your now a traffic director!
Have kids, so you can't work because you need to stay home and watch them, and can't afford daycare, no problemo, you get the new job of day care technician. This job allows you to bring your kids to work! Of course we will need to build day care centers so we will also have to hire more folks for construction. Here's the cool thing. You'll be paying taxes, employed and feeling like a contributing member of society, and get paid for doing something productive. And if your not here legally, we will give you a free pass back home with a do not return without a social card.
Finally if your a CEO who has bilked billions from hard working, tax paying pensioners, you get a new job too, of Sewer and waste water filter technician. Yep. You get to spend the rest of your life cleaning up the $#!*
you created out of other people's lives.
