I've already spent ours, put it in our kids college savings accounts since they will be the ones burdened with all this debt. Cut a check for everyone, go further into debt... that's what I call long-term thinking here. |

Boy George, in discussing the expected "boost" to our plummeting economy with these checks, gave the coffee-spitter of the day with this little gem from AP today: "It's obvious our economy is in a slowdown. But, fortunately, we recognized the signs early and took action," Bush said. |

It comes in time for me to pay an additional $43 per paycheck for my health care insurance, which is now a whopping total of $167 per paycheck for a single person. Thank you, Nixon, for making health care companies a big business/public companies and robbing the American people for generations to come. And maybe the next president can help save social security because I have to temporarily pause my 401 k contributions to pay for all the things that increased this year. God forgive me for thinking only of myself, but my government only seems to be thinking about saving businesses. |

| keltoi2 | Posted – 4/25/2008 1:16:03 PM | show profile Of course not, Ron. I want to do my share to save the American economy. Would have preferred a piece of the $32 billion a day in 2% interest (approx) loans that the banks have been getting for the past few months, but I guess we in the 98% not in Bush's favor have to take what we can get. |
