I suppose this could be put on the off topics board, but I am curious just what will happen with our economy problems and our tourist business at our big lakes?

I realize that the time of year that they all make their money is quickly approaching. I hope many do very well, and I hope all make plenty to keep them in business.

I did see the president's news conference, and the follow up analysis on the world news today. I am concerned about the financial bail out and the condition that future money to the banks must be loaned out. Isn't that how we, the country, got into trouble in the first place? Loaning out money to folks who are already at their maximum credit limit??

Personally, I say the old economic rules don't apply, as the problem with most consumers are credit card debt. I say take the trillion dollars, divide it up to all the folks in the country. Those with debt must pay it off, those without must spend it, prefably on new bass boats!!! LOL Don't give the big companies the money, give it to the people that need it and let's see if that doesn't get the economy going.
