1007 - Failed

[Leinad]

Seems like a good idea (I'm a tad dubious about spending money in general, but compared to other programs this isn't that large, and the increase in income and sales tax revenue would pay off this price tag with only a few thousand new jobs--obviously much less if we make it cheaper).

Regarding the cost: would it really cost $1 million for each website? And would it really need 1/6th of the population of the city I live in to operate? Perhaps the total budget could be connected to how much estimated increase in income tax revenue we'd get from the new jobs? Also, I'd much rather have the regions decide how much to put into advertising this--seriously, someone please amend it to do so.

Now, if it turns out this idea wouldn't actually work in practice for whatever reason, obviously it wouldn't be good. But, I presume we can trust the House to work out the kinks and get to the bottom of whether something is a good idea or not, right? Anyway, it seems like a relatively affordable way to use technology to help get the economy moving.

On second thought, we already have websites that do that, correct?

This seems redundant, unless it could be repurposed for a similar idea.

(shame on me for not realizing that until now )
