My bank account balance and my credit card debt are at the moment roughly equal. I'm at that magic number!
And last week I got my "stimulus check" from the U.S. govt. (So-named because we're supposed to do our patriotic duty, spend it at Walmart, and save the U.S. economy. Like when we went to the mall and saved ourselves from terrorism after the 2001 terrorist attacks by buying new pants.)
Despite the magic number, I propose that we all donate a portion of these checks to worthy causes. The govt. ought to spend this "stimulus" money on homeless people, who it serves very poorly in general, so I'm giving $50 of my check to Coalition for the Homeless. And another $50 to Barack Obama's campaign so that we can get out of endless war. The rest I will use to maintain my magic number. Screw consumption on government orders!
Who will you give your "stimulus" money to?
(By the way, did you know that if you're not currently registered for credits at a university, you can't get a student loan? Huh.)

'stimulus' is not one of raymond williams's keywords; thus I am not sure what it is. translation: I need someone to bring me chinese food so I can finish my exam.

I'm gonna spend my money on wineries in Southern California. Based on Reagan's theory of Trickle-Down Economics, this will benefit the rising homeless population of middle class Santa Barbaraians. That way, everyone wins.
AXM: you know China Star delivers, don't you?
CBAM, hmm, don't you think 'someone to bring me chinese food' covers china star delivery? someone 'brought me' pizza last night. now if only someone could 'bring me' an herbal relaxation remedy so I'd stop freaking out.

I don't have herbal, but I'm well stocked with pharmaceuticals. I've got Klonopin, Xanax, and some Vicodin if you are interested.
I'm disappointed with the new title. But supportive! Very supportive!
