1) Wipe out everyone's Credit Card Debt -- the Government will pay it all. One time only up to $10k.

2) Bail out people with bad mortgages (by paying their debt up to that point), but they will not be allowed to keep the homes. They'd have 3 Months to save money and relocate or be forced back into their original agreements.

3) Raise Credit Ratings for everyone by 100 points, original credit scale remains the same.

4) Give everyone a $5000 rebate good only towards the purchase of an American Made Automobile.

5) For those people who are still messed up after all this help; ship them to Mexico.

What do you guys think?

and where does the money come from? Plunging the country further in debt is not really a solution...

The government can just print all the money needed. Why should we go under debt when we have perfectly good printing presses?

And what about people like myself who have lived responsibly and saved? What do I get besides more inflation??

8. PROFIT!


Yay for socialism!

Why would it be socialism? It's not like you automatically can stop working and relax. This would be a one-time deal to help the American citizen relax and get his stuff together.

Good job on being responsible. Unfortunately, you being responsible doesn't help things. Helping those that caused this mess will help things.

Inflation won't take place. In fact, competition will increase because of all the people looking to spend a little bit again, lowering prices across the board.

No, Zimbabwe got that way because they have no real economy, 3rd world living conditions, no infrastructure and a bunch of douchebags running wild raping and pillaging.

The USA would NEVER turn into a Zimbabwe no matter how hard they tried.

You obviously understand...nothing.
You can't print money without causing inflation. If you print it, the value goes down. The more of something there is, the less it's worth.

Meh, people will fuck up anything with fiscal irresponsibility. I wish that the government would stop trying to help people. We're paying more and more taxes for social programs that are helping less and less people.

That's all the responsible people get? A "good job", and then everybody who fucked up gets bailed out, while they get shit? What a retarded plan.

I like this plan. With that $5000 rebate I will finally be able to afford that brand new Corvette I have been wanting.
