Stimulous Check Revised
It appears that I didn’t clarify on how I really think about the stimulous checks, by what I had brainstormed about recently…since it sounds like a second check is in the works.
First of all, I have been a fulltime worker for almost 25 yrs in a factory that is affected by the global market. I get nervous when there are layoffs. After 18 yrs at my current job, I was at the bottom of the seniority list. I was told that this was not a coincidence, but that they didn’t want to lose me. That was 4 yrs ago and thank God things have turned around.
I believe that everyone should be responsible for their own debt and should know how much debt you can pay. I will be honest and admit that I don’t know alot of details about how big corporations, banks, insurance companies, etc. operate…but I don’t think that gov’t should be bailing them out like they have been. I’m sure there are other options…especially when you later find out that there are lavish parties and vacations going right along w/ these bailouts. I could go on about this, but there is alot going on that I don’t believe is the right thing to do.
On a personal level, as in people in general, we have become a society where we “just can’t live w/o” a cell phone, satellite TV, expensive cars, lavish homes, brand name clothes and the list goes on.
I drive a car that’s 11 yrs old, live in a house that was built in 1920, buy clothes from consignment shops, garage sales and sale racks. I refuse to pay full price for clothes!
I DO NOT THINK WE SHOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER STIMULOUS CHECK!!! Teach your kids how to scrape by! Say “No” to them when their buddie shows up w/ a new phone and then want’s one too. I’ve had to do this several times. Within a week the desire is over. Kids are not stupid…but little manipulators! This usually starts at age 3.
I do not believe that gov’t should have control over our lives. There have been terms for this since Obama’s name came into play. Communism, Socialiam…whatever you want to call it. I didn’t vote for this type of life or future and was sick to my stomach for several days after the election.
I hope this clears up any negative thoughts about my previous brainstorm.
Keep your comments coming, I love feedback!

How to “Stimulate” the Economy
I’ve been hearing about a second stimulous check, but there is talk about how people will probably pay bills and not make the purchases the gov’t wants them to make.
I came up w/ this idea a few days ago and thought I’d share.
Instead of a stimulous check, why not have the people (us) designate where we would like a gift card to. Or maybe get more than one gift card. There is Best Buy, Amazon, Sears, Kohls, Neiman Marcus and the list goes on. This way there are actual purchases being made. Makes sense to me and others have liked the idea too.
