[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1656900, member: 24816"] As far s the stimulus goes, corporate and special interests are the ones benefiting the most. It’s plain to see that the individual isn’t a high priority on either side of the aisle. The politicians are all either out for themselves or their special interest donors. They only get concerned about what the people need or want around election time and then they give a lot of lip service, and afterwards it’s back to business as usual. The government picks winners and losers just depends on which party is in power. Some industries/businesses are either taxed or relieved or subsidized. Industries are either allowed to be unrestricted in their growth or influence and others are regulated to ridiculousness. What ever the situation the individual seldom benefits. Farmers are a prime example. There are so many factors artificially playing along with the industry and the supply and demand principles are barely relevant except when those in controlling positions want to use it to their advantage as they do every other factor. The stimulus if it was going to be, in my opinion should have been centered on individuals. Whether we agree with it or not the politicians are going to give money to their interests. Lobbyists are the real power and not the people. Individuals are only needed for votes and quickly forgotten afterwards. [/QUOTE]
