Money for American Citizens not the Rich

I am just an ordinary working class man like most others in this Great United States of America, but I had a simple idea that would have saved us all but I speak now to late because the Rich have once again saved the Rich at all our expenses.
Here is the idea that would have saved us all.
Instead of giving away $700 Billion Dollars why didn’t the Goverment just issue a check to every Man , Woman & Child in America ?
Check it out Divide $700 Billion between the 303,825,650 , Americans who live in this country & each individual would have received approximatly $272,500.00 EACH.
I think we would have been able to pay off all our depts which would have saved our banking industry, then I am sure Americans would have gone on a spending frenzy with what was left over which would have boosted our economy 10 fold over night, Thousands of jobs would have been created to service the spending of this new found money, we would all have been delivered our own retirement nest eggs and we could all have afforded health care.
But who am I but a simple working man, I guess I just need to work a little harder to help my Goverment pay off this new dept!!!

THAT makes more sense than anything I have heard the government doing!!!!!
I’ve been sending emails to our Senator about just that. Everybody needs to jump on board and let him know that is what the American Economy NEEDS!
“Something to remember in these hard times”
by Mitch Albom
Each day I have less
In my bank account.
Every day I grow scared
As my losses mount.
Every day there is less
To the house that I own
And the equity in it
Like the wind, has blown.
Every day I see less
On my bottom line.
Every day something worsens
That used to be fine.
Every day in my family
There’s worry and stress.
Where we once dreamed of more
We now do with less.
Every day I hear stories
Of a company’s worth
Sinking to levels
From before my birth.
And places I shopped
Are now closing their doors.
Big firms I grew up with
Are big firms no more.
Every day I have less
Of a once strong sensation
That the leaders we choose
Are good for our nation.
Every day I think less
Of a boss I respected
Who parachutes out
With his own butt protected.
Every day I see less
of the country I knew
Of the dreams we encouraged
Under red, white and blue.
Instead I see signs
Of foreclosure and sale
And people afraid
Of what comes in the mail.
I see layoffs and cutbacks
No help for the needy
As billions are given
To the powered and greedy.
And this news, it is endless
It burrows so deep.
It shadows my waking
It’s haunting my sleep.
Yet every day I have less
I cannot ignore it.
Something grows clearer
That wasn’t before it.
If I still have a job
I am luckier than some.
If I still have my house
It is better than none.
If I still have my wits
There are mouths I can feed.
If I still have more family
What more do I need?
If I still have my health
I am mercifully blessed.
If I think I have little
Someone has less.
Every day I discover
More mercy in me.
Every day I find out
Who my true friends will be.
Every day that I stumble
Or say “I can’t do it!“
Is a day I discover
with God’s grace, I get through it.
So I learn a new lesson
If I keep a new score
That every day I have less
May be a day I have more.
