You sound very much like Steve Forbes. I like one Republican Senator's idea. Why don't we just have the IRS <b>NOT</b> collect taxes for 3 months or so? It would cost the government the same amount of money. Then the market could pick the winners and the losers. NOT collect taxes for 3 months or so?

And the people who continue to pay their own mortgage should get an equal amount to spend as they wish. This way the money could actually help everyone. As it is you still have the people who couldn't afford the houses owing the same amount or more while the banks are only temporarily appeased.
