My Idea For The Stimulus Plan...Obama, take note!!

I believe we can make a quantum shift into a green era, but it won't be through bi partisanship... I thought of an answer to the proposed stimulus plan...We have 435 fairly equally populated districts in the USA...each represented by a person in the House. The Republicans are being obstructionistic, ideologically they still believe in fairy tales like 'trickle down'...Give each congressional district a billion dollars to use as they see fit for infrastructure, work projects, or tax breaks for corporations...That's 435 billions of dollars. Then, take another 400 billion dollars and allow the federal government, under Obama's administration, to stimulate demand through creating jobs, etc...that Obama wants. Win-win...see what happens. See if the Republican districts all of the sudden become more affluent...and create more jobs...or if the working poor in those districts lose more jobs...and become hungry and angry.

Paradoxically, the shut-down of the AMOC and the resulting cooling of Europe will be the best proof of global warming.
