Anna’s Life

After reading an article on CNN.com, it seems that lawmakers are feeling compelled to do more to boost the economy which could mean a second stimulus package during “its lame- duck session following the presidential election.”  They are saying that some parts of the country are already in a recession.  You think? No kidding.  We are all feeling it already.

I don’t know about you, but I would not balk at the thought of getting a second stimulus check.  I just hope that this time it is enough to actually make a difference.  I mean come on.  If you are in a financial strain, are you going to take your check and blow it? No, you are going to be like most everyone else and either hold on to it or pay on a bill. 

If they had started on this sooner, Christmas would have been a great time to send out stimulus checks.  Who wouldn’t like to have some extra money to spend on gifts?  I wish these guys would get their act together and actually do something to help us. 

In my opinion, if you want to stimulate the economy so people will actually go out and spend some money on something besides absolute necessities, give us a substantial amount to where you can pay some on bills but still have a little to blow if you feel so inclined.  I would think somewhere around $5,000 for a household would be a nice sum.  Instead of sending all our money overseas to help all the countries who despise us, why don’t we help our own citizens for a change?  I want CASH in my hand; not a supposed tax cut.  Money talks.
