£1000 for every man, woman and child in the UK. To be spent within 30 days to really stimulate the economy.
We, the taxpayers, have spent £275 billion on quantitative easing so far and it appears that it is not having the desired effect of stimulating our economy and dragging us back from the edge.
It has just been announced that we are to be indebted by our government to the tune of another £50 billion with no say as to where the money goes. The economy would be stimulated far more with that money in the pockets of the people.
Give us the money- with the proviso that it be spent within 30 days, on whatever we like. If it is not spent it goes back to the treasury and it has to be spent legally- no £1000 drug binges.
It is up to us, contrary to what the government believes, we are all able to make decisions for ourselves and if we are expected to repay the £325 billion of debt you have signed us up to then let us have a little bit of pleasure from it first, before we spend the next 14 years (projected) paying it back.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
