Thank you Sarah, I am glad there are others that “get it”. This is not free money from the govt, it is just them giving us money in advance, that we will pay back many times over in new taxes in the next couple of years. People are falling for it though, including the media, which is terrible.

Great post. I am so happy to find a community of people who understand how insane this approach is. The media coverage has been appalling – some commentators get it, but they are the ones who are preaching to the choir. Overall there is just so little effort being made to educate the American people about what is really happening and why. Do Americans know that in other countries similar problems are beng addressed by RAISING interest rates, or that some foreign economies are booming despite paying nearly twice the price we do here for gas? This recession is not being caused by the price of gas and it sure won’t be fixed by shopping our way out of it. I spend a lot of time counselling bipolar people who have financial probs because of manic spending spress when they are having episodes – now the Fed, the Congress and the almost the whole US public seem to think this kind ofsspending is a financial solution and not a mental health issue. Amazing times!
