"[NEW YORK] The agency that mails out coupons for digital TV
converter boxes expects to eliminate its wait list in two and a
half weeks, an official said Thursday."

*Nice to hear that the stimulus package is already trickling
down to benefit the unemployed. Watching TV should keep
everyone's mind off of the economy.
I'd rather use work to distract myself, besides I'll need the
income to pay for my neighbors' homes, cars, TV's, cellphones,
healthcare, dinner and entertainment. That's just the bills
congress passed this week, who knows what I'll have to pay for
next week.


Me too, living within my means and saving for retirement really
worked out. I am really glad I can help out people who bought a
house they couldn't afford or maybe speculated in real estate and
lost or even those poor folks who greedily scammed the system
with their banks or brokerages and need our money to pay their $50
Million bonuses for the great work they did.

The blue team is really doing a good job showing us how stupid we
were. The best comment I heard was from Dennis Miller. He
mentioned that many of us donate to various overseas charities
where we get letters from individuals telling us how they were
able to go to school or make advances in their life and they also
included a picture. So Miller asked since Obama and the rest of
the blue team want half of the country to pay for the other half
will we get a picture of who we are supporting?
Here is one picture of the first lady serving "the homeless" in DC.
I'm sure cellphones are essential equipment for the "homeless" of
today. Tough enough for me sweating out how I'm going to send my
three "high honor roll" kids to college, now that their college
savings are wiped out, but I've got to worry about keeping the
growing number of non productive members of society, in cellphones

Of course, if you lost your home, it is difficult to have a landline.
To some people it may look like extravagance, but in order to
communicate - perhaps with a prospective employer, police, or even
family - a cellphone might be the economical answer. All this
pointed out by my wonderful spouse.

Sorry, don't buy it. Unless it is a pre-paid, they still want an
address to link to. And where would they be recharging it?

have you seen the SafeLink ads on TV?
a prepaid by TracFone,for low income folks.

BTW,you can recharge at cafes or some restaurants,probably even McD's;just
sit near a wall outlet. Or,if you're living out of your car,get a car
charger...
