what if the govt just gave the American citizens all the bailout money to keep circulating through the country to buy new cars from our american auto manufactuerers, and to get more money flowing again. and force companies to stop outsourcing to other countries. yeah its cheaper but its not helping OUR economy at all.

and i agree with most above that its not as simple as finding a new job. companies are not going to be hiring because people are not spending money like they use to on their products, therefore they dont want to pay more people and lose profit...

BUT, hiring more people COULD help the economy if companies had more overhead because those people they hired would be able to buy more things.

the economy is a big circle, you have the people, and you have the companies who provide the product (in a simple scale). people work for companies to make/sell a product(s) to bring profit for the company and pay the employees, in turn the employees spend money on other companies products keeping the companies alive and people making money.

but again wouldnt giving US the people most of the money help out purchasing products that are produced in THIS country to help the money to continue circulating? instead of giving it to the companies (who are going to get our money anyway) to do what the **** ever they want? it makes more sense but it may be more complicated than that.

i blame our poor economy on lazy Americans and outsourcing in a nutshell.
