Here in the United States, after Congress takes a holiday break, a proposition is going to be made for $50 billion dollars to be injected into the system for jobs, and keeping some infrastructures afloat. Wonderful, right? I would have thought so too… till I read the article.
While the facts are the facts, and nowhere near lost on me or others, one area that they are going to want to attempt an allotment of the money is completely bogus. (My opinion only.) Apparently, Congress would like to help the states out with unemployment money/payments. All well in good, but uh, people need to have an incentive to get out and find a job again. Solution: Allow small businesses to thrive in local areas to build up the base for collecting more money. (Heaven forbid a little person like me – trying to understand this complicated information. Yeah, the whole concept of ma and pa stores is horrible…)
While people are unemployed the states gain losses on the many existing avenues to make money. If people are not working, there is no way for the state to have the deduction from the taxes, or other areas. However, the states gain money from people working when they earn a paycheck, not to mention any new law that goes into effect for additional revenue. That is about as simple as it can be without going into the whole grandeur of it.
With this concept that Congress is thinking of putting forward, it will not behoove the unemployed people to go out to find gainful employment. Nope. I see people everyday playing chicken in the middle of the busy street, at or around, 10 A.M. – literally. The ol’ “please hit me, because I will sue you” act. Paying people to stay at home, gaining an unemployment check is not a good idea. Why? Other than the above havoc…there is no gain to this at all for a state, or a person.
Examining the article…it appears that Congress is going to allow an allotment of money to small businesses. That’s great, but not enough to deal with the hot water some (if not all) small businesses appear to be fast approaching. Between laws of all kinds and banks not lending to anyone (for various reasons), small businesses are choking and dying. (It would not surprise me to see many small businesses have to close here soon.)
From this observers perspective and opinion, inject the money to every existing small business, perhaps even make the funds available for new small businesses to start. Another tiny observation…try to leave off all the strings that come attached. As I have been told before, less is more. That is a concept, eh?
