   The Republican controlled Senate is standing in the way of spending, while the   
   Fed   
   wants a fiscal expansion.  So HOW MUCH does the Fed want Congress to spend?   
      
   If the economy goes bad, there will be much *more* suffering.  We need to help   
   the   
   homeless now and always.   
      
   600,000 homeless x $15,000 = $9 Billion.   
      
   The previous, $1,200 Stimulus, was $218 Billion.   
      
   $15,000  = $1,250 per month.   
      
   This could be given to everybody over 18 who earns less than $20,000 after   
   taxes   
   per year:   
      
   So if you earn $0, you get $15,000 or $1,250 per month.   
   If you earn $5,000, you get $15,000, or $1,250 per month.   
   If you earn $10,000, you get $10,000, or $833 per month.   
   If you earn $15,000, you get $5,000, or $416 per month.   
   If you earn $20,000, you get $0, or $0 per month.
