Why the hell is the government giving away cash?
Most of the cash will get spent on crap made overseas and will only help keep a job for a checkout chick!
It looks like I'll be one of those eligible for $950, so I'm not whining because I'm not going to get a payout.. I'm whining because $8 billion could be used to build something useful for future generations.. AND generate real jobs!
