Free money!

Ok, so the $600 I saw in my bank account this morning from the government is not really free. If anything they owe me 20 times as much for misappropriation of funds, but I'm glad that I got it! Of course, I will not use this money the way that they have planned for me to use it. There will be no beneficial economic investment from me by buying something new that I don't need. On the contrary, I have already put that $600 towards eliminating my past habit of buying something new that I didn't need. As of this morning, I paid off three more credit cards! When I decided to take control of my spending habits and get myself out of credit card debt, I had 18 credit cards. Most of them were store specific like Pier1, JCPenny, and Gap, but now I'm down to only 5! I can't quite believe it myself, but I am rolling down the road towards being credit card debt free!
So, thank you President Bush for helping me along this road, it's not what you expected, but it works for me and that's what counts. I'm not sure what will save the economy, but I don't think this is the answer. Please God, let us have an intelligent President in office next term!
