Here's a Stimulus Package

Over the next few weeks. Americans will be recieveing a check from the Boss. Yup, the U.S. Treasury. About $300 per person give or take a few using political math. Its supposed to be a national rebate. Spending money. A way to stimulate the weakened economy, and to try to make you feel better about the fleacing youre taking on all sides.
Ummm, who gave them the money to give back to us? Quick, anyone? It was YOU!...well you didn't do it yet, but you will, with interest.

You see, this is a loan from your taxes later to your pockets now, add in inflation, rate of recovery and overhead and you'll probably be paying back $900 for this $300 shot in the arm. What a great way to save us. Cmon guys, give us a break.

How about this. Dont send me a check. Use my share of my loan to me to rent space on an airplane for a tired, weary, overworked and underpaid American Soldier. Give that soldier a seat home, where they all should be.
Spark the economy? Well, just a guess here, but I'm willing to wager that a soldier reunited home with his family would go out and spend a few dollars. Maybe have dinner with his wife and kids, catch up on the lost birthdays of relatives, grab that new tv they were saving for while they were seperated, or take a well earned vaccation. Hows that for stimulous. Multiply it by all the American Soldiers, Sailors and Marines and Airmen in Iraq and I think you get a much needed economic boost in the same sectors that the national economists have decided need stimulating. I bet you stimulate the families of these same National Heros too! Sending Johnny home would make moms and dads happy coast to coast, ease our worried minds just a bit and give us all something we really need. A reason to stand up and cheer.
