Say Yes to Government Intervention

Submitted by Stumpy Joe on February 20, 2008 - 12:44.

jkjk is right about the need for government to intervene when recessions or depressions are looming. The way I see it, depressions happen when people don't have enough money to pay for the things they need. Although jkjk has the right idea when he talks about the government providing jobs to construction workers, I think there is a quicker and more direct way the government can help. It can have a massive stimulus plan by printing lots of money for us. We could each get a $10 million stimulus check from the Treasury. Then we'd all have the money we need to buy the things that we couldn't before. That should put off a depression for a long time and make us the richest country again. Obama '08!
