Economic Stimulus Package???

I have really struggled with what to write about this. The last week has shown really how out of touch our elected officials are with reality, Democrat or Republican. I am beginning to believe that these people never had a basic micro or macro class. When are they going to realize that the package they are proposing will only send us deeper into recession and possibly into the Massive Depression. I am not fool enough to believe that government can solve this problem, however based on public reaction to the proposal, it seems the IMFs statistical quantification of our literacy rate is a bit out of wack. All I can say, I hope people have been storing something for a rainy day. Oh, that's right, our country is in a state of dissaving, so we are basically screwed, collectively.

On a lighter note, everyone I come in contact with lately seems to have personal saving on their minds. If this is the case then I can feel safe that at least a third of the country is at least thinking about it.

One question: What would your economic stimulus plan look like?

Extreme Political Change

I don't know how many of you have seen "The Day After Tomorrow", but the recent U.S. Presidential elections reminded me of that movie. Just try and imagine what will happen when the eye of this storm passes over your town or state. We need to get off our collective behinds and elect people who have not lost touch with reality.

If you have a chance watch the above mentioned movie and see if you agree with me at least a little bit.
