I was talking to my roommate about all this stimulus stuff for the economy. I have the best idea of all, PAY OFF ALL STUDENT LOANS. What better economy booster would there be. Think about it, when students get outta college we could afford to buy a new house, new car, and actually spend money on things. Huge economy booster lol.

Not a bad idea. Putting this money into building things will not turn out economy around, that is for sure. Then the remaining money should be handed out to small businesses so they can afford to hire workers again; problem solved.

If only things were this simple.

focus more on business, every one thinks about welfare and unemployment **** like that. you need to ensure companies are strong enough to employ, and make a profit. It all trickles down to the workers who thenspend thier money. don't help a symptom, cure the sickness
