Maggie's Farm

Of your tax dollars to produce one, one-week job. That isn't efficiency, in my book. Wouldn't a tax cut have worked better?

Or a $50,000 check mailed to each American? That would have surely produced a short-term stimulus...altho I believe economic cycles heal themselves anyway, and best, without government intervention, just like everybody gets over the flu after a while except those who were already dying.

If the US Treasury had sent me a $50,000 check (shamelessly borrowed from my kids and future grandkids), I would have bought myself a used S&W .45 revolver for $700 to shoot beer cans off a big old log, and used the rest to pay off kids' college debts.

And around $1500 of it to bring our veterinary account up to date. Vets are paid better than Docs these days.
