Handouts me Hearties!
Watching the worlds financial house of cards tumble this week has been alarming, but not nearly so alarming and seeing our government throw over 10 BILLION dollars at the problem, with most of the attention going to handouts which won't actually do anything positive. In fact, handing huge sums of money out to people in the hope they spend it, and thus increase consumer confidence and spending, is more likely to perpetuate the problem than solve it.
For the record, I am not complaining about this because I missed a handout. I have six children. The government is handing parents about $1000 for each dependant child this Christmas. You do the math!
The money has had one noticeable effect.
