Dominoes

If the economy is trying to stabilize, it’s hard to tell when you have so many people unemployed and businesses closing. So, the administration is trying to offer various stimulus plans to jumpstart the economy. I always heard that it takes money to make money. As some business folks do, they’ll spend money on advertisements, gags, offers, etc., to bring you into their stores. Yes, the ads and materials cost, but if the prices are right, we’re hooked. We’ll spend to get what we want if the price is right! The more we spend, the more we save! The more people spending, more people are needed to sell. More items sold, more produced. We all get the picture. The Domino effect. “Cash for Clunkers” seem to do pretty well for the auto industry. It’s helping dealers, the manufacturers, etc. I don’t know how long this will last. Where am I going with this? No matter what is done, you will not satisfy everybody! If it’s a great plan, they are still unhappy. They’ll find fault! But, notice that these negative folks don’t have a better plan, not even a plan at all. But, they have plenty of negative opinions. Is this what our society has become? Just an ungrateful bunch of unhappy people? Folks are worried about bills left for their grandchildren and legacy!? Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed! We can have one of the worse wars, epidemics, catastrophes the world has ever seen and we are worried about the future? But the voices speaking against the spending programs now didn’t seem to worry about it in the past. Is the real question government spending or too much government involvement?
