Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money...

How about w take the last idea and make it even simpler...

At this point there is a little less than $400 Billion bailout money left out of the original $700 Billion. That is what is left after our government has given a lot of it to banks and large corporations. They have also committed a lot of it towards rescue plans for businesses down the road. Since in theory those are our tax dollars at "work", why not give the American people some of it.

I'm sure most of us out there could use $2,000. It could even be set-up as a slogan: $1,000 to spend, $1,000 to save. That much money directly stimulating the economy and the banks might be the "shot in the arm" we need.
