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.

I agree with you on both issues.

As far as Dr. Phil goes, he has even stated on the news today that his blabbing was a bad idea on his part. It was immoral and unethical a fact that he has to and sais he does own up to.

I feel sorry for Britney mental melt downs are hard to live through, having it all in the public eye and being excerbated by the photo-nazi's has to be even harder to live through. On the other hand, I'm glad her kids are out of her custody. While i believe that parents should both have equal access to children, I don't believe that kids should be expossed to her kind of turmoil, nor should they be so indangered as they seem to be whenever they are with her.
I hope she doesn't have any more kids untill she's got her life back on track.

Someone on a board mentioned that she really escalated when Jamie Lynne's pregnancy was announced. I fear that she will try to get pregnant to steal Jamie Lynne's thunder.

The Pap she's hanging with is married, but I can't imagine that would stop him--it sure isn't stopping him from hanging out with her all night in hotels.
