"Stimulus Package III (The Girls Go Shopping Version)"
digital collage by Mick Mather

Before the "Grand Liberal Larceny" that has ushered in 6 months of avarice and greed - disguised as "hope" and "change" - an idea that made a lot of sense to me as regards stimulating the economy was to suspend the Federal Income Tax for a year. This idea would've fairly put money into every pocket while being a legitimate stimulus with nowhere near the massive debt that "Washington" has now created. Todays post is a simple reflection of average people continuing to go about the business of their daily lives while priming the pump to provide much needed cash flow for the backbone of American entrepreneurship - small business.
