How to create an economic stimulus package

President Barack Obama in case you haven't noticed this IS your 911. You don't have another 2 months to wait. If you don't act now then by next week the headline will read,
"President Elect Obama
Now with 50% less hope"

By the time you take office a whole lot less people will care.

In case anyone is interested here is how to create an economic stimulus package. President Obama, gather 1,000 of the richest people in the country in a room and tell them that each of them has to cough up 1 year salary or 1% of their net worth to create jobs.

Tell them they have two choices and the decision has to made now. One, you could pull out your checkbooks and write a check equal to last years salary or pull out your keys and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Hey, if we don't have jobs we can't buy their crap now can we?

If they choose not to contribute to the economic recovery of our nation then they or their lobbyists will no longer have an audience in side the beltway. If their companies have been receiving subsidies in any form then that will stop on January 2nd. If they want a bailout of Billions for their banks, investment houses, insurance companies, coal and oil companies or auto companies then please inform their Boards of Directors, stockholders and the general public what the greedy bastards choice was.

This is really a 'are you for us or against us' moment.

Put their names on a web page and post in public whether they gave or not. Put your name first Mr. President with a check for $10 Million. Yes you could do that if the organization was used for charitable uses so you have no excuse not to lead the way and that is what you are to us isn't it? Our Leader? So lead already.

Start a non profit group/ website or use mine to create jobs through and have all money posted in public so we the people can see what's going on. Then have your government put up $50 Million to use for loans for those that save a house and live in it so they can start their own businesses. Think of how many jobs will be created by that second wave! Come on, do something.

Where is it written that you can't start acting like a leader? THINK! Dammit. Every month there are thousands of our citizens losing everything they worked for. They did the right things. They followed the rules and somewhere in this country, right now as you read this there is a great guy that loves his family, worked very hard, invested in 401Ks, 527's the stock market and trusted in the government to do it's job and is sitting behind his little desk in the study looking at his foreclosure notice and all the security he thought he had now gone and along with the that stack of papers saying what he isn't worth and the bills that have to be paid there stands a Bottle and in the top right hand draw of his desk there is a gun. If you would like to know his name and be introduced to his family just create a Google/news alert with the search term, foreclosure and suicide and you will get to meet his widow and kids. THAT is what defines a financial crisis. Still think it's OK to wait two months?

Please answer me/us this question if you will.

Do you know anybody that can create 300,000 paying jobs that give a house to each of those workers? Also, do it by recycling and without using tax dollars? Can Paul Volcker do it? You? Can all of your men and women put together do it?

Sincerely,
