How Stimulating…
I was just thinking how cool those stimulus checks are going to be when every taxpaying American gets theirs! First off, I think it’s really nice that loads of resources were used to send letters to everyone to announce the arrival of the checks. “President George W. Bush and Congress are pleased to announce….” or something like that was the first line of the letter. That Bush guy.. what a pal!! What a waste!
My sister lives in this really small town in upstate New York. She said that the local Wal Mart is gearing up for the dispersment of the stimulus checks. Truckloads of product are being shipped in getting ready for some the onslaught of shoppers. Sort of just made my stomach churn at first… but then after thinking about it for a while.. How is having all these billions of dollars funneled to Sam Walton’s descendants and that Lee Scott dood in Bentonville, Arkansas going to “stimulate” the economy in Smalltown, USA? It’s all a big sham. the beloved leaders of this country have just figured out another way to make the rich even richer… but, yeah, everyone’s happy because they get to buy something “extra”.
Personally, everyone I’ve talked to is going to pay off credit cards or pay bills with the money received. That’ll sure stimulate the economy! Me? I’m going to pay down my huge tax debt I have with the nice folks at the IRS. Rock on!
OK. There wasn’t a blog thing here but now there is. Try to figure this one on your own. It’s new so there’s not much here. And I don’t really consider myself a real ‘blogger d00d’ or anything… so I wonder how often it’ll really be updated. Who knows? Maybe I’ll really get into it and blog 1634 times a day. I might want to put some of the stuff that was here before… but in “BLOG” format!
