“We’re not going to save our way out of this recession,” the majority whip added. “We’ve got to spend our way out of this recession, and I think most economists know that.” Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.)
It's infuriating that families are being made to feel guilty about spending prudently and saving. Saving is good for families (ask your grandma), and what is good for families is good for the country and good for the economy in the long run.
Nobody wants to think about the long view, though.
What? You don't go shopping @ the mall when you need to pay for a new roof? I told my hubs last night we oughta just go buy a bunch of name brand clothing, spend a few hundred dollars and the roof will miraculously be paid for with our clothing spending. This makes no sense. Neither does the government wanting to spend our way out of debt!
motherhen - you know that - I know that. Why is it so difficult for the weenies in Washington to know that? Oh right -BECAUSE THEY'RE SPENDING OUR MONEY!!!!
Sherry - it's so easy even a dimwit like myself can do it (yeah, yeah - I know I ended a sentence with a preposition. I become intimidated by "real" writers...)
