Give Free Money to the People!

Yes, this has always seemed to be the best, most practical way to help us out of our "financial crisis."  Give free money to the people!

It's makes moral sense.  It makes economic sense.  The people are tapped out.  The economy is sluggish because most of the people are just scraping by... so the most direct way to get the economy moving again would be to give everyone a big wad of cash.

The only thing preventing the authorities from doing it is ideology.  The powers that be tell us that giving money to Fat Cat Bankers is just good monetary policy, but giving money to the people, well, that smacks of socialism or something...

I call bullshit on that rationale... give free money to the people!  Yes, that's the ticket!
