According to the Nielsen Ratings people, more than 9 million homes were not ready for the conversion as of October 15, 2008.

That's about $72/household.

There are about 27.2million small businesses in the US (as of 2007).

That's $15 per small business.






Some freakin' stimulus bill, isn't it?

 

Nope, not tough for me Steve. I'm in good shape. I'll certainly be able to get though the next four years.

 

thoroughly enjoying this thread.

So what's the tag line here Jerry?

 

Well, as far as economic stimulus the last go-around, my company got a $14B contract. As a result, we're hiring. By the hundreds. Even as we speak, I see an interviewee in a suit with a temp badge being walked around.

 

i thought you worked for the government

but still - where did all the tarp money go that was suppose to help homeowners and help banks free up the credit markets

even better - just tell me which banks got the money - remeber Paulson saying oh we can't tell anyone that

 

Nope, Government Contractor. 100% of our business is ultimately FOR the government, but it is a separate company.

Incidentally, Reagan never announced a government stimulus package but spent a boatload and then some on military buildup, star wars etc. which in essence kicked started the economy in the 80's.

 

What also concerns me is that these monies that are given to various gov't programs/services will be expected as part of their budget next year and so on. This is not a 'one-time deal'.

 

sorry Dave - get used to it

tax and spend FTW
