AND/OR.... a forgiveness on student loan payback for this year, and that includes no interest....

AND/OR.... opening small business loans with extremely low interest rates....

AND/OR..... helping homeowners by giving those in trouble low interest loans that they can pay off their ARMS with....

That would have done something.... anything else is just a waste of money and too little too late in this economy.

The government wants to help, set up these programs and get them running.
