$200/head in a Treasury check next week? This was actually proposed during the great depression by the Roosevelt administration. The amount was not $200.00 but a monthly stipend. That would have put money into circulation and helped the economy. The Republicans killed that idea and instead opted for raising interest rates which really killed the economy.The thinking being that a strong dollar was the best thing that could be done to help the economy. As I see it the ideological battle is not between Republicans and Democrats but between liberals and conservatives.Progress will be made when the middle course is followed. Have a good week-end...
