My View:

Good morning! It is a Saturday, so try to relax, don’t worry about rising food prices and gasoline. Let me do that for you.

The news has been rather slow today. I guess its a Saturday. The big stuff is the rebate checks that we are suppose to get. The Congress and Bush decided to throw us some cash, but they decided to surprise us by giving the rebate sooner. The checks are being sent out on Monday, so many of us will have them this week. I put up another link that tells how to spend them. I am guessing many of us will use these checks to pay debt or for gas, which is not what the government wants. The rebate checks are a blessing and a curse.

On one hand our tax refund next year will be less and this “stimulus” package isn’t going to jump start the economy. Do to the fact most people are going to spend it on paying off debt or to keep the cars running. On the other hand, though, 300-600 dollars doesn’t hurt. That’s true for me.

The oil prices are still going up, but the Dollar is gaining ground (you can read that in my last posts) so that might reduce some of the price.

As for the Election, McCain is wanting a long race between the Democrats. Hillary is wanting the Democratic Party to acknowledge the results in Michigan and Florida. Obama, he is already gearing up for the General Election.

That’s all have to to say.

Peace.
