Stimulus and a Debate.

Yesterday two things happened.

First was a stimulus package that will give every couple $1200. I'll say this to the Democratic Congress. It won't work. I know you have held my President hostage and forced him to sign this act of relief... but it won't work. The smart ones like me are not going on a spending spree when the check arrives. I'll be putting that money for my wife and I into our brokerage account (at least half of it) and invest it in something that matters. Our future.

And let me continue on with this. The owner of the company I work for had a few agreeing words with each other. The only people that the rate cuts help are those that have good credit. I must be the fortunate few that can actually look for a better rate, but waiting on next weeks rate cut to improve the mortgage on our home. This rate cut won't help the people with bad credit because with the banks in such disarray, they be asking for the higher rate from the populus. So again, only those with good credit will be able to afford homes and keep there way of life going.

Don't let the government fool you. Don't spend the money. Pay off the debts or save it. Protest them by not buying anything with it.

As for the debates. I didn't watch it, but have read the highlights. They were civil towards one another, and they were attacking Hillary and the Democrats. I think that since Florida is a winner take all state... it will be a tough call, but I'm putting my bet on either Romney or McCain. Either candidate could need the boost - McCain needing it more. But coming back into the debate... at least they were talking about the issue.
