Bush: Waste Your Money!
Ridiculous:
Everyone write down the today's date, because this is the day Fiscal Responsibility officially died. Bush only cares about his legacy, which will be even more trashed if people actually use their money to pay off debts (so they can keep their cars) or put it in a savings account. On the other hand, if people waste money on PS3s, Nike's and rims for their cars, then the economy may pick up a little. Bush will no doubt use that "pick up" as justification for his reckless fiscal policies.
WASHINGTON - President Bush said Friday that "it's clear our economy has slowed" and tried to reassure an anxious public that the long-term outlook is good.
"Losing a job is painful and I know Americans are concerned about our economy. So am I," Bush said during a hastily arranged White House appearance on the heels of a gloomy government economic report.
"I know this is a difficult time for our economy," he said. "But we recognized the problem early and we provided the economy with a booster shot."
Congress passed and Bush signed a stimulus package that will send tax rebates to many families and businesses. But some fear it will come too late — or that people will use the money to save or pay off debt, rather than go on a spending spree that would boost the economy.
Bush gently urged people to do the latter. "When the money reaches the American people, we expect they will use it to boost consumerspending," he said.
