Now this is one of the better ideas I've seen, proposed by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R.-Tex.). He suggests that instead of the congress deciding who gets big bags of money, they simply give the taxpayers a 2-month break from federal and FICA taxes, and let us give the money to whomever we deem worthy.
Look at your last pay stub, and see how much that adds up to. It's a sizable chunk of change. Of course the problem with this is that it's a one-time thing, and everyone, knowing that their check will get dramatically smaller shortly, will likely just rat-hole the money, instead of putting a down payment on a Chevy Volt.
The good side, in the slightly longer term, is that people are going to be mightily pissed when the size of the tax bite in their paychecks is brought home like this.

This is about as improbable as my own idea - stop or cut taxes on corporations. Either one deprives the liberal "Spend tax money to buy me votes" Congress leaders of money to spend.
And neither program comes with a "This is money from us Democrats" gift card.
