I think it was not a good idea, but gladly took it! You cannot fix money problems with more money, well,unlesss you win the few hundred million dollar lottery! There has to be a system in place that can make it grow and reduce our long term costs, toward things we need that cost too much.

Another dumb idea. It has been overshadowed by the elections! I liked the money though!

Apparently, it is part of a "total economic stimulus package!" I have no idea what the rest of it is. But, I've heard Pres. Shrub say, 'give it time to work!' :wtf:

It really isn't enough for each individual to do much; i.e. like make a house payment and get out of foreclosure. Most people won't toss it in a sinking ship! That is where I think he thought it go. Last house payment the Prez. made, may have been that low. No longer the case!

Putting mine into growing! :thumbsup:That will ultimately lower my prescription costs to Medicare. Which isn't much, since they hardly cover much through my HMO! The less I spend on 'deductibles' for meds, the more I my particular HMO makes! In fact, the Drs. there get a 'rebate' for prescribing fewer medications. I phoned Medicare and they do not care, said, I gave up my rights for any support from Medicare when I 'flipped' my medicare into an HMO! Nice way for no-one to be responsible! Yes, I know I need to change my HMO plan, but I need a couple of my Docs until the ultimate surgery is finished!
