7/3/2008 - "Stimulating" the Economy

So. What did you spend YOUR economic stimulus check on, hmmmm???

Did you do your part to stimulate the economy? Are you helping to swell the coffers of the American business enterprise? Did you contribute to making our GDP grow larger? Did you pitch in to lubricate the wheels of ... oh, never mind...

I'm just askin'...

EclectaQuotes
Some folks sleep on a problem, but you can camp on one as well. Camping is for the mind what a high-speed run on the highway is for a car. It tends to blow out all the sludge that accumulates in the type of urban driving most of us are forced to do in order to earn a living.
-- Tim Cahill

To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.
-- Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The most alarming sign of the state of our society now is that our leaders have the courage to sacrifice the lives of young people in war but not the courage to tell us that we must be less greedy and wasteful.
-- Wendell Berry
