ok ok...at least $600 worth of stimulation.
I got my money from our Government.
And I will not spend it all in one place. Trust me.
This money will be saved in case I need it to survive.
I am unemployed after all.
Sorry Pres. Bush, but with the economy the way it is, and the job market the way it is - I just don't feel free to go out and spend this and stimulate the economy the way you want it done.
After all...gas is now $3.79/gal so that will buy 158-1/3 gallons of gas or approximately 9 tanks....
Doesn't seem like a lot of money when you figure it that way now does it?
And, since I normally spend at least $100/week at the grocery - well, that's only about 6 weeks worth.
Ohhhhh I'm not complaining mind you. With being out of work right now that is 6 weeks or groceries that I don't have to worry about paying for - or 9 tanks of gas that I don't have to worry about either...
But $600 only goes so far with the economy the way it is. You all know that.
I just wish our Government knew it - or at least acknowledged the hard times that an awful lot of people are having.
Higher grocery prices, gas prices through the roof while oil companies are reporting RECORD PROFITS, unemployment at record highs, foreclosure rates at record highs...
Well...I'll get off my soapbox now.
But you all get out there now and stimulate the economy!!! Spread it around!! I'm counting on you.
