The $300 is an unsweetened carrot. Clearly the Senate and House think that we are very uninformed. It is just a way to have them think they are actually doing something about the economy.
Regulation and oversight of the banks that offered the sub-prime mortgages in 2002/03 are what should have happened. I'd rather the government help people to refinance from risky loans to fixed rate and avoid foreclosure. The $300 won't even cover these peoples’ moving expenses. And seriously, they should save it. We don’t need to piss away more cash
