Just a few months ago, the Bush Administration sent me a $600 Economic Stimulus Payment. By sending such payments to taxpayers, this Administration thought it could jump-start the economy.
This stimulus program has proven to be a miserable failure. I put my stimulus payment into the bank, where it has drawn a paltry interest, far less than the rate at which price inflation is eating it away. Thank goodness I didn't put it into my mutual fund, where it would have lost far more of its value.
I have decided that the only way I can help stimulate the economy is to help Barack Obama get elected, and bring real change to our economy and to our nation. So, yesterday I took that stimulus money out of the bank and I donated it to his campaign. I hope all his supporters will consider doing the same.
