Best idea I've heard in a LONG time

How about, rather than a $600B or $700B "stimulus" package, how about this instead? Give us a Federal Income Tax holiday long enough for the equivalent savings!

If the annual budget is $1.5 trillion, then how about a 4-5 month break from any Federal Income Tax? Isn't that equivalent? If you have to borrow (read: print) the money, then just print it for federal expenditures, and let us KEEP OUR MONEY! That way it isn't redistributed at all.

Imagine the outcry when the taxes kick back in! Can you say, "Fair Tax," boys and girls?

Best idea I've heard in a LONG time...

This weekend, this year

Natalie and Lauren were at the "Revolve Tour" this weekend. Rachel spent most of Saturday playing with her friends. So I reorganized my corner of the garage. I got rid of some stuff, reorganized some stuff, and cleaned up some stuff. Much better - it feels good to have that done. I also made some improvements in my workshop, and cleaned out one corner there - also very good. Such things are always therapeutic for me. What is so odd is how I let things get so bad before I make them better. I guess when I clean something I like to know it *REALLY* made a difference! (grin)

We worked on Christmas cards a little bit this weekend too. We're still debating about whether or not to do a "Family Newsletter." The only major difference between last year and this is that I did NOT have a heart attack. We're all a year older, some of us a year wiser, all of us a little closer to God (we certainly hope) and each other. I dunno - there were SOME differences this year. Some things we *did* differently, some things we *did not* do. I aspire to do more. Much of "doing more" means I must do differently - which is on me. I ask you to pray for me, that I will make any needed changes to be more successful - which may or may not mean what you think. I have tremendous opportunities in front of me. I want to fulfill God's purposes in my life, and to positively impact the lives of many.
