I am going to restart my garbage collection service

Posted: Dec 23, 2011

A few months ago, my hubby was temporily laid off and my job was in question. The first thing I did was cancel my cable TV, my telephone landline, and my garbage collection service. I then started shopping grocery sales and clipping coupons with a vengeance. I was looking at how I could trim my insurance costs. I was considering dropping our home delivery of the weekend newspaper. We delayed fixing the car and did not travel to the family Thanksgiving to save on gas and travel expenses,and decided to limit what we spend on Christmas gifts. We are making ends meet, but we have successfully taken quite a bit of money out of the economy, and even though our jobs are picking up, I don't plan to change my frugal ways except for restarting the garbage collection. (My personal Christmas present to myself and the garbage collection company) Now, I find out that Boehner and his House Republicans were willing to let the tax cuts for the middle class expire, which makes a difference of about $40.00 per month to the average wage earner--but NO, the the Republicans cannot ask for a single dime more from the rich! The Republicans say the rich need economic stability before they start to hire again. Well, guess what Republicans? I could used some economic stability too!. Perhaps the garbage collection service, the cable company, the gas station owners and motels owners. food producers, the auto mechanics, the housing providers/builders/remodelers could use a little stability too! What is wrong with these people? ;
