When do you shower?

It seems to me that those American's who take a shower before they go in to work, like bankers and stock brokers got a better deal than those who shower after they get off of work, like can manufacturers. The Banks got $700,000,000,000+ and it has not helped the average American taxpayer one bit.

For a total cost of $450 billion (a savings of 250b) the US government could have given EVERY household in America a $150,000 stimulus check. Additionally, they could have taxed that money at a rate of 30%, thereby generating a 135b in tax revenue. Additionally, they could have put restrictions on how the funds were spent. For example, they could have mandated that no less than 50% of the gross amount be spent on existing debt. If a person had no existing debt then they would be forced to place the money into a government savings plan for a period of not less than 2 years.

Had the US government done this, the majority of American's would be current on their mortgages right now, and there would be no foreclosure crisis. Additionally car repossessions would go way down.

The remaining 50% of the gross stimulus amount could be used as the Household saw fit. I am confident that many people would buy new cars. That would help boost the auto industry.

But my bright ideas aside, the automakers are forced to beg for 15b (400 times less then what the Banks got) and they have a new Car Czar. Where is the Bank Czar? I guess the fact that the auto industry employees 3x as many people in America as the banking industry was not factored into the equation. This is not just about the manufacturing jobs, or the nation's ailing steel industry, which relys on the Big Three, or the scientist who invent new technologies like new soy-based foam.

Its clear that the government did not do this to save the economy, but rather to save big business, nsamely the banking business. There is no reason why billions of dollars is being spent and people are still being forced out of their homes. And better yet, why dont the banks lend money to the car makers?
