My guy, Paul Krugman, has been lecturing ad nauseum about why the economic stimulus didn't work for Japan in the 90's: it wasn't big enough. He said we needed a $3 Trillion stimulus to get us out of this hole.

I heard earlier today that the President is already preparing the ground for another stimulus bill. Huzzah!

And, though $13 a week may not seem like much, for some it could be the difference between making that $950 monthly mortgage bill or having to borrow every month because you can only come up with $900. Right now, borrowing is a tough game.

Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love,
to respect and be kind to one another,
so that we may grow with peace in mind.
