SNL did a "Bailout" skit, which has created some rather awkward problems for NBC. They spiked the video and tried to shut it down on the Internet. But aha, there's still some sites that have it.

Here is a republican plan that was presented, it was tabled and never brought up for vote.
It is HR 7909

http://gohmert.house.gov/Article.aspx?NewsID=1357

What is amazing is it is a 2 month tax holiday on the 350 billion left in tarp funds.
If you used the 800 billion in stimulus money as well it could have been almost a full year tax holiday.

If you are going to "borrow" the 800 billion to fund the stimulus, and use taxpayer dollars to fund the running of the government, why not borrow the 800 billion instead to run the government and leave the 800 billion in the pocket of every taxpayer for a year?

It would seem to me that if every taxpayer wereto keep their entire paycheck, they could pay down debts and save money, thus bailing out banks as well as have capitol to do home improvements, save towards buying a house, car, tv, etc...

Sounds like that is more of an instant stimulus, rather than pet projects and pork along with "shovel ready" BS that will not get moving this year and next, hell the CBO even said only 7% will be spent this year.
We could have spent 100% this year and returned the monies to the taxpayer!

Oh that's right the gov't cares about the people that get up work every day and pay taxes....BS
