I was just thinking...what does it mean to "stimulate" the economy? I suppose it depends on who you are asking. Strange isn't it, if I'm giving away YOUR money it doesn't bother me as to how it is done or how much of it I give away. However, I'm not as willing to give away MY money. Let me get this straight a person pays in "x" amount of money (taxes) each year and you (Congress, etc) decide that in order to help him pay his house payment or buy a new boat you are going to give him back "part" of it (The "y" factor). But you (Congress, etc) are trillions of dollars in debt (hum) and YOUR/OUR debt is growing from special funding, like $8 million, to study such things as "...what is the best way to fund a reparation account." But, you are going to give me back some money, which I gave you and yet you really do not have it (Oh yes, I remember now multiplying two negatives makes a positive - sure how foolish of me). And the purpose is so we can "stimulate" the economy! Of course those who will not WORK (note the words "will not," not those who lost a job) will also get this "stimulating money" - hum! It is hard to believe that we actually elected these people to Congress - but we did! Of course when you consider that the current administration thinks we ought to "share the wealth" then you can understand why giving you money is considered "stimulating." I was just thinking...
