Did you know there is over 160 billion dollars that is unclaimed in stimulus checks and refund tax checks? Where does it go? Why can't it go back into the government budget? It seems that would help the deficit, right?

The government would just use it to bail out yet another corporation.

It seems that would help the deficit, right? Wasn't the money borrowed from China and other countries? I don't know how much of it came from taxpayers. Maybe pay back some of it?

it's actually a better idea.... giving it to the poor or maybe into the health care system for the people who can't get insurance, or even toward job education for people who don't work

What doesn't work?The money is unclaimed.Put it to good use. The whole stimulus package. More people paid of debt or saved it. Its whole use to stimulate fails. The money is nice with no long term benefits.

perhaps, but my whole point of this thread was what to do with 'unclaimed' funds from the stimulus checks

well Im just sayin....if you've ever been to the ghetto..this is a horrible problem. do you send your children to school and pray they dont get SHOT daily? i dont, thank god, I got lucky somewhere and got offa the streets a long time ago. if you want to fix the problems that result from poverty....start in the ghetto. BUT if you think giving them help through welfare....OR coutning on the prison system to take care of the crime on the streets....well we have been relying on this for years..its NOT working, dont put more money into a broken system. these people dont have TIME for education. they need to freaking have a dependable decent paying job...and then maybe there will be hope for their children. and society.
