Jaba,
Sure stimulate the economy a bit, but do not let it become a massive free for all that is nothing short of a gross waste of funds.
Agreed, giving the money to the bogans / walking unwashed was probably not the best way to spent it (in terms of tax payer value for money) , but it was the quickest way to inject it directly into the economy, paid on wednesday, spent by wednesday night.
Yes, plasma screen etc etc, how else would you suggest it be directly injected into the economy ?.
To put it into perspective, we have a rental house in Perth, rented by bogans, they were two weeks behind in rent when the stimulus package was paid, did they pay their rent up to date ?, no !!!, the dumbasses purchased a massive plasma, well after taking them to court and doing the whole " ceasure and sale court order " on them, they lost there plasma ( who said the court system does not get it right some of the times
)
