Fuck the economic stimulus plan. Why not do a political stimulus plan? Here’s the deal:

You offer $300-$600 to anyone and everyone who has some interaction with the political process. If I am correct this will both cure the apathy that is fueling our current state of politics, and help the economy. Sure giving money to the average joe to spend at the mall is one way of boosting the economy, but that is only one of our countries problems.

To begin to address the rest of the problems we need some form of participation by **__AVERAGE__** every day citizens. It will completely shatter the trends of dynasty politics and could possibly break down the barrier between politicians and citizens.

    i think giving people money is a bad idea. i think creating jobs, hiring people, and paying them for their work, is a better idea

    example. instead of giving people $600, how about making a minimum wage job where you build a new wikipedia style project… like, california has 1.6+ million unemployed people, plus millions of illegals just south of the border ready to work. We hire a million people to build the next big ___ whatever online.

    Or you know, build the new american pyramids
