Well I know there is so much more serious news out there, but I was glad to see the numbers so strong for the first quarter for GM.

It will be interesting to see what happens when the Zombie Apocalypse is over.
Will people run out and buy new trucks/cars or, realize there are things more important than a new vehicle, like thousands of rolls of toilet paper?

I was just having that conversation with the wife. Will this make younger people appreciate what they have and quit spending willy-nilly? Will this experiance weed out all the uneeded things everyone has been wasting money on? Will the "on the edge" businesses make it? Will helping your kids with schoolwork become the norm again?

The stimulus package will be a double edge sword, giving away money to even those that don't need it or deserve it won't teach responsibility.

True, look how many couldn't even survive a month without a handout. Absolutely no reserve fund for hard times. I doubt they will learn anything, I hope I'm wrong.

Excellent point. It will help some people. It will give others more money to hoard things they don't need.
What ever happens, I think the world as we know it has changed forever.

????? You have 1000's of hard working working people through no fault of there own now out of work. As an older person through my lifetime I have accumulated a decent nest egg to survive on but when i was young with a family we basically lived from pay check to pay check. I'm sure there gonna run out and buy frivolous things like food, medicine, and gas.

Or maybe those of us that have money will spend a little more on things like RV accessories or other goods that small businesses sell. Bringing the economy back as a "stimulus package" is intended to do.
