Letter to the Editor
I listen to the US treasurer annouced his bailout program and I was disappointed.
As for President Obama TV appearance, I expected him (play ball a little better) little more details than was provided, but w/hates like Rush Limbaugh wanting him /the country to fail,I should have expected less ,(Hate here has Not Waned )
This is what I was expecting from both of them.
I expected the US Treasurer to use 200 billion dollars of the TARP money to buy back the mortgages of people who are behind in their payments or are in the intital stage of foreclosure. I expected him to announce that they would buy these bad mortgages for 85 cents on the dollar from banks and then refinance those mortgages with a fix rate of interest on the lower princple. This would add the necessary liquidity to the financial system and allow millions to remain in their homes.
Use 25 billion dollars for the FDIC use in case smaller banks fold so depositor's money are safe.
Keep 125 billion dollars on the side for future use, possibly for the auto companies or other major companies from folding.
As for the spending program of President Obama, there is a better way for less money.
1. A $15,000 voucher to buy an existing or new home. This would apply to the first one million homes each year starting 2009, and last thru 2011. The buyer would have to put a 5% down payment as well. Adequate safequards would be put in place to prevent fraud. The buyer would have to occupy the home for at least three years and the $15,000 voucher would be tax free.
2. A $3,000 voucher to buy a new car for the first 10 million cars each year starting in 2009 and lasting thru 2011.
The buyer will have to put a 5% down payment and keep the car for three years. Adequate safeguards would be put in place to prevent fraud. This voucher would be tax free as well.
3. 20 billions dollars each year provided to school districts to build new schools starting in 2009 thru 2011.
4. 30 billion dollars each year for building or improving roads starting in 2009 thru 2011.
5. 50 billion dollars per year to be distributed to states to help balance their budgets staring in 2009 thru 2010.
6. Extend unemployment compensation to 52 weeks for everyone unemployed. Cost unknown.
7. Provide health benefits to those that are unemployed. Cost unknown.
9. 10 billion dollars to state and county government each year to repair or replace bridges, small dams and levees starting 2009 thru 2011.
Total cost 415 billion over three years not including the health care cost or unemployment benefts for 52 weeks.
The so called $15,000 tax credit is for all practical purposes is useless, unless you eaned a lot of money. The reason for this is that 40% of people earning less $50,000 pay little or no Federal Income Tax.
With this plan, people start to buy homes or cars, and this would immediately result in people being called back to work in our two major industries. That economic stimulus would spread to other industries as well like the companies that provide auto parts.
The plan they have falls far short of what needs to be done and this plan means less borrowing.
Some of you may have a better plan or something I may have overlooked. Anyway, this plan is better than the one Congress is proposing. (Them Haters)
The market was down almost 400 points today, February 10, 2009. Not a good sign for the future. ps Ten Year Plan to eliminate Homelessness, ?
