give me my money!

what a great day! ice cold and sunshine....football on the telly, leg o lamb roasting in the oven, faithful wife upstairs scrapbooking, and talk of free money in the spring from our politicos in washington, d.c. an economic stimulus package! wow. i cannot wait to see how that works out. i dont know about everyone else, but we are going to blow our dough on something to help the economy. i dont know what yet, but i told my wife she could go out and buy whatever that money will buy. that made her stimulated! i dont even know how much it is, but i heard it might be 1600 clams. i also heard that some people wont get any cuz they make too much money. i dont understand that very well-- i thought people with money who had all their bills covered would probably spend extra money in the economy--or maybe im over thinking that. i am sure the politicos have it all figured out. they are, afterall, smarter than the average working citizen. i just wonder what this diversion is all about....
anyway, i am excited because spring really is not too far off, and that means golf for me! and boy do i love to play golf--haven't played for awhile (since november), but i love this time of year. PGA gets rolling and the promise of warmer temps has me salivating. i have lived in the south most of my life so i have no trouble visualizing those people getting a head start, but up here, there is going to be a special feeling when the weather turns. and i am excited! i love the promise that the future holds....
so, i have to say that i do have a bone about the economic stimulus package. free money to people who will probably pay bills with it because they are strapped right now is not going to stimulate the economy. but giving it to them will help families so i am for that! here's my idea. roll back the feds, cut spending, cut pork belly programs, allow people big tax deductions for supporting charities, and just plain helping other people, and give me my money that i work hard for everyday! stop taxing us for everything we do. there have never been as many taxes on us as there are today, and that needs to stop. hey here's an idea for economic stimulus--give every family in america $5000.00 and family passes to an amusement park . or even better still, allow everyone who files income taxes in this country to have a pass for 2007. now THAT is stimulus and almost has me salivating as much as the promise of spring!
