A NICE DAY

It is a nice day today. The sun shines and there is no wind, temp. around 30 degrees. The Doc says I need exercise to get my wgt. down and then, control my blood pressure and diabetes. I took a brisk 25 minute walk and really enjoyed it. I started a yoga and walking regimen a week ago and we will see what we will see. It has been fun so far.

We now have a 700 billion dollar stimulus on the way. State governments will do well from it and some other service entities will have a windfall to apply to their programs. I guess that is good but we on the bottom of the economic pyramid aren't seeing much of it directly. Maybe a little cut in our taxes. No large amount to help out the people who support the rest of the economic pile.

I did some simple math a few minutes ago and discovered that $ 720,000,ooo,ooo added to the last package of around $750,000,000,000 Bush doled out a total of equaled around $1,500,000,000,ooo (That is $1.5 trillion !) Divide that by a population of 300,000,000 (million) people and every man woman and child on the books would get $5,000 dollars each. My household would gain a total of $35,000 for our use. We could use that and the local stores and services would be glad to see us coming in to purchase their product.

Lets hear it for the trickle up economic theory!!!
