It always amazes me when people propose giving more money to the people who are obviously nowhere near the ability capable to manage it well.

Dude, those people are the engine of our consumer-spending driven economy!

If you give rich people money, they are going to put it in a hedge fund somewhere or invest it overseas. From a domestic point of view it largely disappears (in the near time frame).

Give a poor person money and they are gonna blow it at a local bar or buy an Xbox.

The best thing we can do to help our economy is get more money into the hands of those that are going to spend it the fastest. This means raising the minimum wage and cutting taxes for the middle and lower classes. Make it up on the high end, they can afford it!

And hey, if we get out of Iraq, the government can spend that money domestically as well!
