plan?
Do you actually plan to go out and spend it the way President Bush would like you too? Or do you plan to pay off bills?
Do you actually think that borrowing money from another country will help boost our economy?
I think that if they really want to solve this problem the would increase minimum wage so that people can actually make enough to go out and spend money and enjoy themselves. And yes I know that Bush did pass a bill in 2007 to increase minimum wage to $7.50. But did you know that increase in a gradual increase and won't actually be mandatory until 2009. If $7.50 an hour was not enough to live on in 2007 why would he think it would be enough in another 2 years.

I am going to invest it in Chinese Lead. It seems like a sound investment since it's in everything from paint, to toys, toothpaste and dogfood. I should make a fortune. I strongly encourage everyone else to do the same because Chinese lead is the wave of the future.
All seriousness aside, this stimulus package is more than a little stupid. It's not enough money to make a difference and it's taking far too long for people to actually see. What is worse is that the people who need it the most, either didn't make enough money to qualify for it, or will recieve half of what everyone else gets. That is just moronic.

I am going to put it on my bills. If we weren't at war we wouldn't have to borrow money from any other country because 20 million a year on a country we tore up and are rebuilding. We need to be rebuilding our own country rather than someone elses. They were just fine before and they will be just fine after.
