Actually, it just came to my attention that the math was wrong.
And I apologise for that.

However, that amount is *still* less than what we are now spending to fix the economy. And it doesn't give money to the "fat cats" who screwed it up to begin with. No, I'm done with that!

This plan would give give the money to those of us who lost our pensions because of the greed of those fat cats who took the bail out money and quickly went on a retreat, spending hundreds of thousands of OUR money on SPA TREATMENTS! And then gave themselves great big fat BONUSES! AGAIN! (When have you ever gotten a bonus for screwing up?)
Let's get real, folks!

And even if we live to 80, getting @ $33K per year, with a paid off house, and a new car to start with won't be a bad deal. I can live with that no problem. I'm in the North East, where prices are very high. The reason we have to make the money is to pay the mortgage and the loans.
We won't have a car loan.
We won't have a mortgage!

And we won't have a growning deficit for our as yet unborn great grandchildren.

So, though the math was wrong, (and I should have caught it myself), I still think it's a better idea than what we're doing now. Frankly, I am tired of seeing billions of our dollars going to pay off the very people who screwed up the economy to begin with.

You trust them to fix it?

This plan actually *does* stimulate the economy with jobs, housing and automobiles.

Occam's Razor is a principle attributed to the 14th century logician and Franciscan friar William of Ockham. The most useful statement of the principle for scientists is "when you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better." The idea goes all the way back to Aristotle, who said, " "Nature operates in the shortest way possible." And finally, attributable to Einstein,
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
My personal favorite -- KISS -- Keep It Simple, Silly!

This plan is simple; it addresses the major issues effecting our economy; and best of all, it does NOT reward incompetence and greed.

Peace!
