    Not to mention the fact that this stimulus package is about 9,000 different forms of double taxation.

    Is there really that much stimulus in bingo? If there is, won't the Church be upset at the government taking its revenue source.

    No, it's wealth distribution. Apparently more than half the people in this country are for it.

    How do I obtain my $250?

    (Before people place me in the "lazy, doesn't want to work" category, the school frowns up first years working!)

    But I sure could use that money for my MacBook fund!

    I hope we can see more stuff about how the stimulus package is all about giving money to people who are just too lazy to work for it.

    That's why unemployment has risen. Our nation got a bad case of laziness. It's spreading and that's why unemployment continues to rise. It's not about any other factors of the economy, just laziness.

    So the stimulus package is trying to reward the lazy.

    I'm glad people have such a firm grasp on what's going on.

    I guess the billionaire Paul Allen made a bad business investment, and that business investment is going bankrupt, and will receive some aid from the stimulus package.

    I don't really have a problem with that. I would if he made his Billion from Charter cable but he didn't. I don't think it's right to punish the guy because he made money from something else that was successful.

    Of course all he's really doing is being able to put off some of the taxes he owes for that business. It isn't like he's being given free money for nothing.
