Part of my plan for pulling the US out of its recession is an import levee
based on foreign manufacturing. This would allow even small and medium manufacturors would be able to compete in the marketplace.
I'm totally in agreement on the stupidity of sending us our money back(if they didn't need it, should the pay interest on it?) instead of just taking less. If the Income Tax was lowered by a few percentage points, and became effective immediately, people who worked would see an instant reduction of their weekly checks. More work and less taxes the economy would take off like a rocket.
Then remove the ceiling on the maximum social security and medicair.

Most smart people won't go out and buy something with it, they'll pay
off their debts...but the banks want to keep us in debt so they can pay off their own debts.
