Bill,
There is NO place where more government spending is going to help. None! That is YOUR money and MINE - so no matter what they do with it, they are taking money AWAY from us.
Try this as an example of a non-government help to the economy: let's say that the big three automakers just close up shop tomorrow. Hopefully they will give back the $13.4 Billion that you and I gave to GM alone, forget that for right now - they all just close.
That sucks for the folks who live and work there, but all the rest of the country just saved close to a trillion dollars. AND - Toyota and the other car makers who are NOT about to go under will enjoy a real surge in sales. Those cars are made here in the USA, so that means thousands of more jobs, millions in tax dollars both state and local, and we will all be driving cars which sure rate higher in all the reviews I have ever read.
Now, as I said, it sucks for the folks who live and work around the Detroit automakers, but I'm sorry to say, they don't account for one percent of the workforce in our country. So why do we saddle 99 percent of our people with a mountain of taxes and debt, so less than one percent can keep a job at a factory which even our government says is not very efficient at what they do?
Sorry - I'll step off the soapbox now.

I think the ammo tax will definitely have an impact on the murder rates..Now when the criminals steal your guns, they will have nothing to load it with since you can't afford to buy the ammo..Brilliant. But wouldn't that be a trickle down effect ???
I agree with you Chas, if we think we can save the whole darn country after years of poor business decisions have destroyed companies, we are stupid..(guess I should say they are stupid). Let the auto makers go...I say Ford can stay because they are the most viable. I am amazed that in so many cases workers are just told, no raises, less benefits, less pay, yet the unions aren't going to give one inch... :(
96SC''you have been on here long enough to know me ::)... if my kid shoots anything that breathes >:(..the gun will be part of the stimulus package for Ebay!! I know you were kidding ;D He's looking into local sportsman clubs and he can shoot CLAY pigeons on the farm where he works. I guess now if anyone shoots at my country pigeons (I dearly love the mourning doves), I can shoot back...now where's that $6000.00 ammo?

Don't know if I should tell you this but my sons do hunt deer, turkey, etc. I'd be willing to wager your son will get the hunting 'bug' too, so get ready for it. Especially if some of his skeet friends are into hunting. :-X

He's 18, so I can only say so much to him. My sister and my Mom both shot guns for years but only at targets. My cousin was the U.S. women's skeet shooting champion in the '60's..she didn't hunt either.
I just know if he decides to hunt, he better not tell me..that's all.. :(
