Unemployment: Regardless of the tax breaks, housing issues and all other ideas in any proposal. If you don’t stop the unemployment and put people back to work so they actually have money to benefit from the tax breaks and housing benefits proposed and so they can start purchasing items, getting loans for homes and vehicles, investing in stock and or otherwise spending money, then regardless of the amount of the package, you will not have stimulated spending or our economy. JOBS are the foundation of stimulation.
JOBS: It is vitally important that the jobs created are created throughout the country with various skills. I assure you that those that have lost their jobs and will lose their jobs are from various locations and with various skills. So specific projects, proposed in any bill, will not suffice since they are limited in both location and skill.
How do you create Jobs?: I continuously hear everyone say, including the President, that our small businesses are the backbone of job creation and our economy. Why is that? It’s because they are all across the country and provide a variety of jobs and they borrow and spend?How do you stimulate small business?: Normally small businesses which are existing or that which wish to start up seek private funding through investement, loans and federal assistance. However due to the current economic EMERGENCY, the private sector options are no longer available. This leaves only Federal funding for small businesses. Our Federal agencies hold many applications from small businesses.: Various agencies have applications from small businesses that want to do work, some of which the government is requesting to be done. Some of which they have come up with on their own, which are called “unsolicited proposals” but which could still be of value. Some of this work is manual labor, some of this work is research and a lot of it is a variety of other opportunities.Some funds could already be available!: Many of these Federal agencies most likely already have some funds set aside for Grant funding or other funding. These agencies could pull all small business applications and Grand Total the amounts needed to fund all of them and the stimulus package could authorize additional funds, which may or may not be needed. The stimulus package and/or a Directive by the President should order these agencies to "clear their coffers". This may seem like an extreme measure, but these are extreme times.Some may argue that this will diminish private investment opportunities.: Contrarily by providing these small businesses with funding to start up or perform work, they can begin to invest and seek investors with the capital which is provided to them and/or with their success as they grow .Perhaps some of the funds being directed to the TARP packages could be redirected here.: Since the issue for our financial institutions is not neccesarily having the money available, but rather a way to move the money, our small businesses can provide for two means of helping with this issue. First they can provide the monies through creating bank accounts and/or making deposits into existing accounts. They will conduct daily business that will begin to rotate these funds and stimulate the economy.The definition of small business has already been defined.: The Government has already defined the term "small business", so there is no need to redefine it or figure out what articulates into a small business.These small businesses have already gone through the Grants.gov verification processes!: Before applying for Grants, SBIR’s and/or STTR’s each business must go through a verification process.There are already established monitoring systems set up.: Government auditing, reports and etc..are already established by each agency.Grants.gov already has bank routing numbers for each business.: As a requirement during the verification process, Grants.gov requires that a bank account already be established. The funds could be dispersed quickly and put to use quickly. Unfortunately the amounts they offer, $100,000 to $150,00 in most case are not sufficient to actually start a business. A business beginning with nothing has to have the funds needed to buy supplies, lease property, purchase equipment etc… and cover salaries for at least a year to allow the business to grow and build a customer base which can sustain them. Another source for small business interest is the Small Business Administration.It is important to provide enough funding: to allow for these businesses to start and to have enough to sustain them for at least a year, two years would be best, so that they can build a customer base to sustain themselves. Not all will succeed and it could be required that unused funds be returned if they fail. But I believe there will be many more that will succeed and some may even provide us all with some unexpected benefits.So have theses agencies, a list of Granting Agencies is on Grants.gov, pull all small business applications and provide funding. Open up more opportunities for small businesses. These small businesses are ready, willing and able to begin work and put others to work, so let them. What is the real benefit of small business?They employ, they buy, they bank, they borrow, they invest, they provide investment opportunities and they spend all across the country.: This stabilizes current businesses and allows them to hire more employees, to buy, to borrow and to spend. They all pay taxes to their states, they pay for permits from municipalities, counties and/or other forms of government, creating State and local revenue. They are perpetual, in that they continue, whereas a stimulus check to Americans may help, it does not provide a continuing of spending and rotation of capital as small businesses would while conducting daily business. They do not require any trade agreement specifications or a “Buy American” provision.Their employees buy, bank, invest, borrow and spend all across the country.: They pay State and local taxes which creates revenue for them.

In the end, the only real stimulation you could provide which can do what needs done, is through creating jobs all across the country with a variety of work skills. To meet that objective effectively you have to build up your small business base.
That way when all the other bills such as TARP and others can actually do some good.
Americans have a way of pulling themselves up. Give us a chance to show you how well we can do that and help us, help you, help us all.
Small Businesses, existing and new, could play a big part of stimulating our economy and progression to recovery. It should be included in conjunction with other ideas which are currently a part of the plan.
Nobody was put on this earth to be a waiter. People were not born to work, yet we have no choice. A human's right to be alive is oppressed by money. Without money to buy those necessary to survival, one would die. We are slaves to the dollar; however, freedom is imminent. My critical theory of proper progression and redirection states that certain technological advancements will liberate us from enslavement and as a result, end poverty, solve the economic crisis, stop global warming, and create world peace. For the purposes of this essay, I take “green” to mean environmentally friendly. Also, I take “technology which generates basic necessities” to mean a device, which will evolve from manufacturing advancing and getting smaller, that uses nanotechnology to create food, water, medicine, material, etc. If we re-landscaped the earth so that every residence, connected by a free green train, was converted into free green skyscraper resorts that provided free access to green technology which generates basic necessities for free, and robots took over the jobs of the working class for free, then money would lose all value and cease to exist. Money would no longer be a need nor would it dictate our lives and we would finally, truly be free: free from doing jobs that we don't want to do and free to pursue our passions, free to spend time with the ones we love, free to travel the world for free, free to learn for free, and free to live for free. In a world without money, there is no poverty. There is no economic crisis. There is no money-related crime. We would see a second renaissance period. The concept of building community would thrive. Exchanging of information over the internet would fluctuate—movies, music, books, lectures on video/audio, and communication would soon all be accessible and spread through the internet; this eliminates the need of physically producing such media and saves natural resources like the trees needed for paper. Innovation and education would continue through schools, universities, and the internet; our focus would be redirected towards research and getting a broader education, rather than a specialized education geared for commercial business. Redirection from our dependence on earth's limited natural resources to using green technology in production, housing, and transportation, will stop global warming. Because society will no longer be dependent on oil to run the very transportation that fuels each nation's economy, war for oil would end. Furthermore, in this technologically advanced society, war over land, money and resources in general would end. Incidentally, the only war that technology cannot solve is war over religion, but that can be solved with an education in the concept of tolerance because it eliminates hate, and the use of marijuana because it causes amotivation. All things considered, when we reach this evolution of society, we will create world peace. With that, I challenge everyone--world leaders, philosophers, scientists, and engineers of all sorts --to take a second to imagine, find flaws in my theory, and build on this outline of a call for action. Together, we can progress towards a brighter tomorrow and make the world a better place.
All You Need Is Love,

Fear feeds on fear.
When we run around telling the world our country is the best, that "We know better than you", our race/religion/ethnic group is the “Chosen” one, or my child is the “Student of the month”, we’re telling other countries and other people they’re not as good as we are. Can you think of any idea that works against us more, or creates more anger against us, than comparing ourselves to one another to feel like we're someone special?
