Would it be more prudent next time “U.S. Government Tax Stimulus Rebates” be “government vouchers” that can only be used to pay for food, housing, utilities, medical bills, e.g., important primary needs?
Would the American Economy be better off if Americans received “Government tax rebate vouchers” that can’t be spent gambling?
Recently Democrat Harry Reid among other Democrats announced they want Congress to approve a “Second Rebate Stimulus Plan” that might include giving billions of U.S. Taxpayer dollars to Americans to help the economy. But could those tax dollar rebates end up in the hands of businesses that don’t help the U.S. economy recover as well as other businesses. For instance, major media has failed to seriously address how much casino gambling in Nevada and other states might have contributed to home foreclosures. Media has not asked loudly enough: did millions of Americans nationally write checks against their home-equity to cover gambling losses on slot machines and other forms of gambling? After home values dropped did casino profits precipitously drop because gamblers lost credit lines? Nationally were gambling casinos big recipients of the Government’s first “economic stimulus rebate” that sent $300-$600 checks to millions of U.S. Citizens: If yes, should federal government next time act to protect U.S. Citizens from losing their “economic stimulus rebates” at gambling casinos and other forms of gambling?

And this piece from someone or something that talks down to all the people struggling to survive in a hollowed out economy from dimes thrown at them by the elite from the plush interior of their untouched life. A country sold out to ruin. And in sheer desperation, the masses are taught, even encourraged to depend on good luck in deprivation instead of a chance to thrive in a nation still intent on its own physical maintenance. A nation that was sucked and suckered into yet another colossal game of chance. While their minions in the media dutifully obeyed the terms of the general conspiracy to remain as not merely mute, but advocates. The real gamblers who lost are now asking us to pay their gambling debts.
Did I say I fucking hate spooks?

The U.S. Government should issue Tax Rebate/or Economic Stimulus Debit Cards that can only be used to purchase goods from retailers: that would help local community businesses. That way the wealth will be spread around in a constructive manner, not spent on gambling or on other non-primary needs.

...the banks which caused this monetary conflagration and are having these criminals feed us this garbage about restricting the spending these dimes of 'stimulus', to open their books. We would sure like to see where all the fricking Trillions went. The Fed resists all attempts to examine their books. Maybe Wendy can tell us.
