The Top 5 Reasons The Tax Rebate Wont Help The Economy

A popular talk across the internet as of late has been whether or not this tax rebate will help the economy. So once again I have decided to make a top 5 list of reasons as to why it wont help the economy.

#5) Will Drive Up Gas Prices

With gases prices already skyrocketing we can only that they will rise with this rebate. Whenever the government borrows $100 billion they normally have some idea as to how they plan to pay it back, and it will probably come in the form of gasoline.

#4) People Will Buy Foreign Products

Most likely if you plan to buy goods with this rebate you will be buying your goods from a foreign company. How can you not though? Most of what Walmart sells is from foreign countries and chances are you shop at Walmart. All this does is help out the foreign countries and their economy's.

#3) Won't Create Jobs

Another reason that this will not help the economy is that is will not create many jobs. Giving people money will not make them more inclined to get a job, in fact I think it may worsen the opportunity for jobs. If the government is going to support you why get a job.

#2) People Will Pay Bills

In a severely burned economy people will be paying up their bills with the rebate, not stimulating the economy. Right now we have such housing prices and people owe so much on their mortgage it will be hard for them to go off and buy things, even then it probably will not be American made.

#1) Inflation

Every time the government borrows money from China the value of the dollar goes down. The problem here is that we are putting more cash into our economy while not taking any out. I think that it isn't as bad of inflation as normally printing off cash because the money is backed by us having to give it back.

Another top 5 down. Please feel free to comment below, remember it does not require you to sign in you can post anonymous.

Top 5 Reasons NASA Deserves More Funding

Here I have compiled 5 reasons why I think NASA deserves more funding.

#5) NASA Helps The Economy

NASA's development of technology helps build the economy. Whenever NASA builds a new robot that can do backflips, we need people to build them and when we those people get paid they will buy something and that money goes back to the government. So really the government is actually making money and spurring economy by funding NASA. NASA gets funded NASA makes new jobs, NASA's new jobs put money back into the economy which will get back to the government... and everyone wins.

#4) We Have the Tech to Get To Mars

Why on Earth? No, litterally why are we on Earth when we actually have the technology to be somewhere else like Mars. If our government better funded our NASA program not only could we potentially live on the moon, but we would probably be on Mars as well. We need a plan in case of an emergency, what if our planet was invaded or there was a nuclear war? We would need to leave in a hurry, but we do not have the technology due to lack of funding.

#3)NASA Sends People To Space

Imagine all the things you could do in space.We need a place to go before we can accomplish these things though. We have a space station with lots of space, but it just isn't a place to live. We need people in space in the near future, but without the necessary funding we cannot build homes out there. People will not invest in NASA's housing plans if it isn't backed by the government.

#2) The Advances In Science NASA Would Make

NASA historically has been one of the leading innovators in technology and science. Computers could be faster and robots could have better artificial intelligence. The world would be a much safer place, the police force and military could be made entirely of robots.

#1) The Threat of Zombies

The threat from the zombie nation has loomed large over the US for many years and we need a way to escape a massive Zombie outbreak. For those of you who have recently seen I am Legend, which in the book was actually vampires, the Zombies were attacking from the inside and people just could not escape in time. The fastest way out would be through mass transportation which could be supplied by NASA with the Proper funding. Once in a while we just need to remind ourselves this threat is real. Oh yeah pick up a copy of I AM LEGEND
