OT Off that article: <Rubin countered that consumer spending was the key to recovery. He said lawmakers should focus on getting money into the pockets of low- and moderate-income workers. "People at the bottom of the income scale spend all the money they earn," reasoned Rubin, who is worth more than $100 million. "If you give it to them, they're going to spend it. If you give it to me, it's not going to affect my spending patterns."> This is pathetic and part of the problem <Rubin's solution> I'm starting to believe that we should fund an office "Reasonable Household Finance/Spending/Saving"....focusing totally on teaching economic literacy.......Teach kids household finance in school from 5 years and up....Have programs, tests for adults (Then again, I'm also in favor of everyone having to take coursework/test before they have a kid too-g) We have an entire economy built around ridiculous lifestyles (even among poor), and its becoming/is a threat to national security, IMO. And Bozos like Rubin want to use the current system to keep the party open half an hour later....instead of reform. BTW- I also think the big corporate tax cut deal back to '86 was an absolute joke...
