I, personally, find Lester's comments about supporting the LHS perfectly germain to the topic at hand. However, with more and more people showing up at the unemployment office, or the self-employed finding themselves hurting for money, we have to look out for our own bottom line.
I am also in agreement with a few others that the stimulus package is one HUGE spending bill. There needs to be money spent to get the economy moving again, but the oversight is NOT in the hands of the taxpayers. So much for transparency in government spending.
The only reason we don't have a different president is because the candidate that I was backing had the audacity to be honest, and admit that economics was not his strong point. That is why there are cabinet members, and advisors, ad infinitum.
There, I have spent my 2 cents.
