Stimulating the Economy

Last night my daughter-in-law and I were talking about how ironic it is that over-spending by individuals and the nation had gotten us into the economic crisis we are experiencing and yet spending money is supposed to get us out. Are you spending or saving? If you like, you can read my rumination on the current situation on spending here.

I don't think we're stimulating much...just pouring more money than we have into a broken medical system.

And I doubt if the dentist or doctor is too worried about where the next meal is coming from. I hope Obama gets off the dime and gets congress to do something about a single payer medical system. If the government can run the military they ought to be able to fight illness.

I wish congress would get off each other so something can move!!

We pay so much out of pocket for my son's care. I just shudder to think of the families of learning and/or developmentally disabled kids who don't have ANY resources, paid, insurance, or otherwise!
