Obama's "New Deal"

Rebuilding American for the New Millenium? i wish i could be that optimistic... yes, like the New Deal of former years it relies heavily on using the unemployed (or the underemployed) for public works projects- such as roads, refurbing buildings & clean energy updates. But- is the plan really long term- or just another bandage? i say this reaks of a band-aid. Four million jobs, the figure repeated over & over during last night's press conference... but for how long will those four million people be employed? For how long will they actually work? Because i know i would be weary of spending if i knew i was only going to be employed for a year or two? What then, more people lose thier homes, savings & gainful employment- woud we actually be any better then?
i have heard that the work may not even start till 2010- what good does this really do us? Obama has said we have to act fast & pass this bill- act fast for what- to wait till 2010 to employ people- i really do not see the rush. Let's look at this- it is jfebruary 2009- the work may not start till 2010, and if the public works projects last for say two years- isn't that upto four million people out of work in 2012- will it end in february 2012- dumped in another presidents' lap (if Obama doesn't get/ or do a 2nd term)?
i say- make the stimulus checks worth something... there were approximately 209 Billion people over the age of 18 legally livining in the US in the 2000 census- (that number can easily be verified through tax records)- so why are they only giving us $1800 max per family? That is bull hookie!! If they were to give $50k per family ($25k to individuals, legally here & over 18)- you wanna' see spending go up- bills get paid off (freeing up some of those precious credit doillars) & consumer confidence... there ya' go!
Heck- While i am at fixing the country today- make a huge broadcast- that this money will go out to US Citizen's that filed a 2008 tax return & if you get legal (become a citizen) by tax day & file taxes- you too get some cash- say a $10k become it citizen stimulus package! So by that- we have restarted the economy, registered illegal aliens & spent far less that 800 Billion. Those sales on consumer goods, housing & other items will help keep industy going & keep the jobs we have & possibly create more. Plus, everyone can feel good about the stimulus package & aliens are registered. Those aliens who still refuse to file taxes- when found will simply be deported- there will be money left over to do just that. Because with a 10k incentive to get legal & file- there is no reason to hide (unless you are a criminal- or don't want to do your part tax wise) & you deserve to be out.
