Untax and spend yet again......

There's talk about the Government giving every taxpaying American a check for $800 in order to stimulate the economy. My reckoning is that in most cases, the money will be used to pay off debt -- credit cards, home equity loans, etc. -- instead of making new purchases.

On an unrelated note, I don't think Dr. Phil should have blabbed about Britney's condition. Just because one is a celebrity doesn't mean they lose their right to privacy.

The government has done this "give the minions some money" tactic in the past. It didn't work then and it ain't gonna work this time. And where is this money coming from that they intend to disburse? Hmm, maybe another plundered account like Social Security. No, wait, can't be from Social Security cuz they've already stolen that money for war games and other crap that dumbass Bish and BOTH political parties deem necessary.

As for Dr. Phil... He's a Jerry Springer in disguise. But then most anything aligned with Oprah is self serving and sensationalistic. I read that Oprah can fire Dr. Phil anytime since she owns his show and determines if and when he is on air. She should have fired his ass long ago and why she's waiting to do so now... must be money money money. But then I'm, also, of the opinion that Oprah's show can disappear.

Egads! Sorry about the typo's and spelling errors. Far too much caffeine. That's my excuse and I'm stickin' to it.
