Ma'am; ...  Don't try to put it in perspective... Don't try to criticize it, or support it... Does it seem like a lot of money??? Does it seem like too much??? Does it seem not enough??? Will it work, or will it not work??? Ma'am,  it is too great for you... Perhaps it is too great for me... At least it would be,  if it were real.... And it is not real... And it would not seem too much if it bought some unity from us; but if the government is any guide, it will not... What it will take to make us whole, to return all the wealth of this land to the people, to correct the injustices of many generations is not a cost any elected administration will willingly bear.... Sooner or later, the president will have his hand forced... When Lincoln became president the South was determined... The South is yet determined; but without that determination on the part of the South in Lincoln's day to have all, or lose all, there would have been no end to slavery; certainly not from a man who only wanted to limit slavery to its predetermined limits.... Capitalism will know no limits.... The religious right will know no law... Even the efforts of the government which will save them from destitution will be rejected politically... That is what ideology does to people... Ideas are the only thing that can make anyone act against ther own best interest.... And yet, is it against their best interest??? The people can clearly see that capitalism is a lost cause... They can clearly see the downside of endless national debt... No one sees that debt with greater alarm than those who have a little property...Even those who do not undestand that capitalism as it fails is the problem, when they strike, they will destroy what they seek to preserve... They will find just like the champions of slavery that all the profit has long been drained away to Wall Street.... Did you know that New York considered leaving the Union with the South... So many people in finance were living off slavery that the money for defense was long gone.... The same is true in America, that the profit has been robbed out of every business, most especially farming, by the demands of interest....Do you think it will come to a last lost cause defense of capital by the very people who have been so long bled white by it???Maybe people will realize that all the government is doing is thowing paper and numbers at a problem long in the making, and impossible to rectify... Maybe with your help, the losers on the right will join with the losers on the left and push our old failed government and old failed economy into oblivion...You  will hear me cheer... And I will be sure to drop you a thank you card if there is still some one to deliver it... Thanks...Sweeney
