Stimulus Bill Signed By 2/16/09?
Will this stimulus bill really be signed by February 16th? It’s not looking likely. On a positive note, today I had a direct deposit from our income tax return. We have needed a pressure cooker for quite a while and with a pressure cooker its worth spending a few extra bucks. Off we went to Kohl’s Department store. I pulled into the parking lot and the lot was a little more than half full which is good for a Tuesday morning. I walked into the store expecting to find some really amazing sales. Boy was I disappointed. Don’t get me wrong Kohl’s always has really good sales but I expected the sales to be plumped up a bit. I began thinking about the stimulus package that must be signed on February 16th or the US economy will be doomed for all eternity. A stimulus package that we have been told expecting perfection would be making an enemy of the “absolutely necessary”. I just can’t believe that. I pull into a store where its’ lot is about half full on a Tuesday morning and they had their usual sales on. No mention of a down economy, no sale signs with extra savings nothing special to attract more consumers. They sure didn’t forget to ask me if I wanted to apply for a Kohl’s credit card which I happily declined. See, I believe in true capitalism. We need to allow all privately owned companies to figure out how to work in real world. If they don’t understand that if you make bad decisions your company will go out of business then tough! In todays world though I’m not sure if they even know what the real world is. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens next.
