Hard-earned taxpayer money vanishing down the same rat-hole where the rest of it went for the last 8 years!

Too much help for the rich and not enough for the poor is probably the main weakness.

A lot of executives who trashed their companies are walking away with multi-million dollar bonuses and leaving the taxpayers with trillion dollar debts.

While the ordinary people who are deeply in debt don’t get much help to pay off their debts.

Such unequal handing out of money by the government probably creates a lot of resentment among the people. And it probably destroys people’s confidence in the economy rather than helps it.

Many people probably will loose their motivation to pay off their debts because of such unfair treatment. And this of course won’t be good for the economy.

There are more benefits than weaknesses, but one weakness would be all the unnecessary “pork” projects.

Debt on top of debt. The definite possibility of runaway inflation. Devalue your own currency.

Please name one benefit….
