Forget The Tax Cut.....Share The Booty!!!!

With all the millions of $'s they're finding in Iraq, why not forget the tax cut thingy and just give each taxpayer a million dollars instead? Talk about stimulating the economy!! Hell, they'd still have millions left over.

I know it would never happen but it sure would be nice. Probably cause inflation or something.

Nope they wont do that.

If the government actually has any money left over after paying for the "war", the politicians will use it to pay for their own projects. Remember the 250 Million Dollar bridge over the river to serve 11 people?? Or the MULTI-BILLION highway construction in Boston "big dig"??

Here are a few examples:

Crap!! And I don't mean "thread."

OK, how about $250K instead? I'm willing to negotiate.

By the way, I know my math is off but I was trying to make a point.

What money are they finding in Iraq? I thought that our illustrious president said that 'all Iraq oil revenue will be used for the Iraqi people.' You are saying we should colonize Iraq and take their oil. Are you contradicting the President, Bill? In another thread you said disagreeing with the president was unAmerican and unpatriotic. I'm surprised at you.

At this point, they have found close to 1 billion dollars in cash that no one knows who it belong to. Stuffed under the mattress so to speak. Finders keepers, losers weepers!

Since the budget deficit, for just this year, will be about $400 Billion (about $3,500 per tax payer) that $1 Bil wouldn't go far in any case.

The total amount owed by the gov't is about $6 Trillion.

Alright already!

No need to make this a Bush bashing thread.

Everyone knows that that money will go right back into Iraq, as it belongs to them. No point in pretending that we are robbing them; we aren't.
