Econ 101: the Trickle-up ploy
Gee-wiz; George is sending my wife and me 1,200 bucks in a few weeks to help stimulate our county’s economy. Let’s see, $1,200 at $4.00 a gallon gets me 300 gallons of gas.
Now we can go cruising for the next few months and make his Texas oil buddies and those poor sheiks in the middle east even richer. Guess you could call it “trickle up economics?”

Re: Econ 101: the Trickle-up ploy
Gee wiz Jerry, he's been formulating that plan since his first day in office. Which explains where all his effort has gone, ' cause it sure isn't in helping the citizens of this country.

That would only be fair seeing as Bush and the other Politicians are borrowing the money from China to give us. Kind of like people who get too far into debt so they get another credit card so that things will be better for awhile. This "loan" we are getting will have to be paid for by our children and grandchildren, along with the costs of Bush's Wars and the bail our of Banks and Investment companies.
Now we have McCain and Clinton wanting to do away with the gas tax for the summer, doesn't lower prices increase demand which in turn increases prices, it seems to me that if that happens prices will be even higher after labor day than if they left things alone, but it's an election year, maybe they don't think $1200 is enough to buy our votes.

Maybe so. But, JP does not seem to be much of a "Dubyah" fan.

Re: Econ 101: the Trickle-up ploy
Although this post doesnt have any thing to do with home inspection, Ill bite.
Barrack and Hillary want to raise my taxes to pay for "universal" health care. I already have insurance, dont need it. One of my engineer buddies from Canada has told me what a great (haha) system it is there.
Is George right? No, I dont agree with some of his stuff. Are his opponents right? No I dont agree with some of their stuff.
Pick the lesser of the evils and go with it. There hasnt been a worthy president since Reagan.

Reagan? Do you mean the guy that came up with "trickle-down Reaganomics"?
Are you referring to the guy that ignored AIDS during his presidency?
You must be joking.

Re: Econ 101: the Trickle-up ploy
No joke, Gunnar. Tons of people revere RR. Makes me feel like a Stranger in a Strange Land. The day he was re-elected I was in a state of shock. I'd say the same thing about GWB, except I suspect he wasn't really "re-elected" any more than he was "elected".

Re: Econ 101: the Trickle-up ploy
Those of us in CA got to know Reagan rather well (oh the stories), a Hollywood and TV actor and a bad one at that and while governor he was somewhat a joke and far more dangerous when elected president. Now we got another bad actor as governor who wants to be president, but alas, he is not native born,,,,, thank God.

Re: Econ 101: the Trickle-up ploy
I believe Hillary can do for the economy as Bill did so she has my vote! Nothing against Obama just more faith in Hillary.

Re: Econ 101: the Trickle-up ploy
Im looking forward to my check in the mail. I can get a new attachment for my Infrared Camera. Put some gas in my S class MB. Add my part the House of the Lord to get the Good news of Jesus Christ out to all that have an ear that Jesus Christ
loves them and that they are wellcome in GODS house. And buy a BIG FAT STAKE.
Ronald Reagan was a good man. G.W. Bush is a good man. Just as i think most of you are all good men. But only Christ was without Sin.
Did start a fire?
Love Ya.
Ron

Re: Econ 101: the Trickle-up ploy
Ron,
How about keeping the God is Good and Jesus stuff out of this board, save it for the religious boards.
Jesus saves at the same place his brothers Juan, Julio and Jorge save, as does his sister Juanita.
Then they send it back home to Mexico to help their family.
At they are helping somebody. Here in the states the churches seem to think that having a big church, bringing in lots of money to have a bigger church, is the goal. Why not give it all away, you know, to help others, in stead of building big buildings and then having to heat and cool them, much less maintain them.
God is Good, so are Wheaties and Cheerios - but I prefer oatmeal.
