Shop 'til you Drop to Help the Economy
(Originally written 1/31/02)

==============================

In case no one among the politicians has been paying attention, are living "under a rock", or are just plain much more stupid than the imbecile level. they are urging, even begging the average American to spend to help the economy. How can people spend when they are losing their jobs, which means the commoner is losing their income.

People will usually pay their bills to keep their car, house, electricity, etc. before spending their "tightened wallet" on frivilous, consumer goods that are not necessities for sustaining life. The government officials wonder why people are not spending!

Then I hear on the news the other day that the government is giving $500 million for some wildlife proposal. What about part-time employees, lower-income, and those who legitimately fall "in the cracks" and can't even get unemployment even though they were laid off.

If you took away my income completely, I would resort to "big-time crime" - kidnapping {whoever I felt would bring large returns}, drugs, assassinations for profit, etc.

Let's see who benefits most from the average person spending themselves way into a further downward spiral of death ? Could the answer be the rich, the ruling elite, business owners, company CEO's, large share stockholders, and the like. Does this include the middle and lower classes or any people that have a JOB - definitely NOT! Like solving a crime figure out who has the most to gain in all situations.
