Recovery Summer

$800 Billion Later...

Here's something to think about: 8,000,000 jobs lost, $800 billion plus spent on stimulus...

For what we wasted on the Democrats’ pet projects and union payoffs, we could have hired every single unemployed person in America to spend $100,000 over the course of one year. Money that would have gone back into the economy in mortgage payments, rent, car payments, appliance purchases, groceries, clothing, travel, entertainment and more.

In the run up to Christmas, the rush to get the perfect gift, or the gift someone really wants, can lead to some bad decisions and wasted money. Not everyone can be an expert on every subject, and that is certainly true of high tech gadgets. It’s easy to end up with the wrong thing, or something much more expensive than needed, especially when you don’t know much about the product and you are relying entirely on a salesperson or sales literature. One way to minimize these risks is to be an educated shopper, and know at least the basics about the item you are shopping for.
