tax relief checks
the tax relief checks are apart of George W. Bush’s Economic Relief Package. Its his last hurrah. The checks are suppose to be out on May 9. Anyway, the economic relief package is suppose to stimulate the economy. People are suppose to go out on a spending spree. Yet, we all know this isn’t going to happen. People will spend the check on basics or maybe pay on a credit card or stock up on food or maybe get caught up on their bills or put it in the bank for emergencies, etc. Because necessities have gone up in price, we, the consumer have less money to spend on extras. High Gas Prices is the reason for our economic woes. Its the trickle down effect. The high price of transportation is passed on to the consumer at the grocery store, clothing stores and so forth. It costs more to go to work. Utilities cost more. All the increases dip into our extra spending money that is if you ever had any or if you didn’t, like many of us, it puts us behind with our bills every month. This translates into less money for travel, vacations, movies, restaurants and so forth. Which also translates into lay offs, business closings, foreclosures and so forth. So, George W. Bush if you really want to do something about this economic mess, do something about the high gas prices first. The Oil companies are making a fortune at the expense of the American people.
