Bailout Plans here’s the best one yet

Citrus County Sound OFF, General Info, Opinions, Politcs No Comments
OK…..here’s a plan I could live with.
And this guy thought this up before it went to $700, 000, 000, 000.00 for Lehman etc.

Hi Pals,

I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve
It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S.
Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child.
So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife team has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college – it’ll be there

Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car – create jobs

Invest in the market – capital drives growth

Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else

Remember this is! for eve ry adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who
lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting
back. And, of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it…instead of
trickling out a puny $1000.00 (‘vote buy’) economic incentive that is being
proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U S
Citizen 18+!

As for AIG – liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here’s my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn’t.

Sure it’s a crazy idea that can ‘never work.’

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC

And remember, this plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5
Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh…I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Government Bailouts

Citrus County Sound OFF, Politcs No Comments

The federal government has sunk $85 billion into AIG to bail them out of trouble. I want the government to bail out my business. THEIR broken economics has caused many small businesses to struggle and go under. What is the Government doing for us? Our problems are not necessarily due to a screw ups of the small business sector. Is the government bailing us out? NOT!!

After Ike Gas and Oil Prices

Citrus County Sound OFF, Weather - Storm Information No Comments

Florida was spared the wrath of Hurricane Ike but has affected us in another way. Friday and Saturday if you went out to get gas you probably saw one of your favorite stations without gas. With the refineries shut down people were racing to the pumps to stock up.

That is all taken care of now, but since there is not as much production right now prices are rising. They will stabilize and start coming down once the refineries start coming back online. Until then we need to know where to get the best deals on gasoline.  Visit our Price watch page before you go out to fill up to find the best prices around the county.

If you have any gas or Storm stories or photos and would like to submit them to us to be displayed on our site – either post a comment to this story or email us at photos@citruscountynetwork.com

Largest particle collider conducts successful test

Citrus County Sound OFF, General Info, Politcs 1 Comment

I was watching the news yesterday and saw scientists were about to test the worlds largest particle collider today. They have done so now sending a proton around the tube buried in the earth in a clockwise direction. Next they plan to send one counterclockwise.  These tests are leading up to an experiment set to find out what happened a second after “the big bang”.

If these tests are successful we will know more about the makeup of space and time, if something goes wrong with them we could all die.
