[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 198034, member: 1514"] Ok....upon further thinking...because I actually do think once in a blue moon...this probably wouldnt work very well. It sounds wonderful in theory if you could hold the world in a vacuum and make people do exactly what you want them to do but reality just doesnt work that way. The minute that much cash floods the streets, prices are going to skyrocket. Instant inflation. How are we going to ensure that people are going to actually pay off their debts instead of just going hog wild on a new toy? One would hope that people would actually pay off their mortgages instead of buying that new yacht but impulse control isnt exactly this generations strong suit. And what about our lovely non working, in and out of jail citizens? Hand them this much money and they are gonna end up dead. Might as well stick the drugs on a street corner and have a free for all. This would do away with the welfare system because it would put everyone over the resource limit so everyone would have to find some sort of healthcare. Or god forbid...a job with health care. But then...that puts all the people who work for the social services departments out of a job too. Oops. Well...at least until all that money is gone. So now we have a huge swing. [/QUOTE]
