Yea, big whoop as we write off our home loan interest we think that $2000 is too much for someone that had a home and many will face the wrath of much bigger problems. Whats better making them stick around to pick up trash or use the money to get out of the Astrodome? I heard a couple stories of people using the money to own a home, if you ask me its a good bang for the buck. The money is being pumped back into the economy so maybe its a net gain.

I do think that the CCC was a good idea but not in this case. One thing about these people that we seem to forget is that their spirit is broken, although many of them are dirt poor many are working poor with little or no savings. If that $2000 will get them out of that virus den we call the Astrodome think about the health care money that the fed will save. If you ask me if they are going to find a job and buy a house elsewhere lets give them even more.
