So can anyone out there tell me please how it can be said that borrowing money to buy and destroy privet capitol is good for the economy? Thats what the government is doing... why don't we just buy forclosed houses from banks and burn them down to help the housing market? Same principle... or buy up companies and close them... this is idiotic!! It hurts us in every possible way. It reduces total capitol, decreases net national savings by putting the government in more debt, hurts poor buy increases prices on used cars, hurts tax payors that have to pay for this, the only people who benefit are the individuals that buy new cars and the car companies... mostly foreign car companies... lunacy is it not? Please someone explain this to me if you can I am dieing to understand it...
