I'm a Republican and I'm baffled by this idea. What a huge over reaction. Romney has been a huge disappointment.

How is this equitable? Some of us will lose 10 times that while some will not stop working and lose nothing...

None of the money exists. He is talking about giving people something that does not exist in reality. So the only wY to do what he is suggesting is for the Fed to create the US Dollars from thin air. Then “loan them to the US Treasury” with interest (US Bonds). The Treasury could then “send $1,000 to Americans”.

Just make sure you understand what they are talking about.

Mormon church has 100 billion in cash and investments. All of their properties are paid in full. Maybe seeing how he is of high counsel they could start helping. They could give each member 2 million and not feel it.

He's trying for a VP spot from either Joe or Bernie - knowing that they will croak within the next few years!

Problem is that neither Joe or Bernie are electable in this environment! Joe's not far enough to the left (willing to give away free stuff like the TURD) and Bernie exudes too much Venezuela Socialism - and we've seen thoe results of that failed experiment!

I would use the $1000 to pay for a round trip ticket to the Carribean. And at Carribean Joe's.

It's just a redistribution of wealth. They have just as little right to tax you to give money to someone as they do to force that person into unemployment.
Like every program of its kind it will be rampant with fraud. Friends of politicians will get first in line. By the time some chump change gets thrown to those who would deserve it their business will long be closed and their former homes a distant memory.
