In poker, there is a common term for making a bad situation worse. It’s called “chasing bad money with good money”. It’s a gentleman’s term for doing something stupid rather than letting a hand go. I personally feel that the Economic Stimulus Package is just that. Yes, “free money” is always a good thing, but I’d much rather see a price fix on gas and food. That would help me out a lot more. And for most people, this one time check is only going to be a short term fix. What happens next month when the prices for food and gas are still outrageous and I still can’t afford them?
Don’t get me wrong. I plan on blowing my money. I know I should do something responsible with it, but screw that. George Bush wants us to spend it, and who am I to tell the president “no”? I’m sure that there were plenty of people that didn’t agree with the way Julius Caesar did things, but I would venture to say that few people ever told him “no”. And look what happened with that. We ended up with a really tasty salad dressing. So until I’m covering a bed of romaine lettuce with Bush dressing, I’m going to rip through my economic stimulation like a 7 yr old opening Christmas packages.
