A message specifically to all the cable talking heads trying to kill the stimulus
One of the very first items to go in a household budget belt tightening is to cut the cable TV bill. The first. So, go ahead and try to help with the "Obama is a failure and the stimulus sucks" tirade you're all stuck on. You will personally help implode the economy the same way you cheerleaded us into an endless war, BUT at the end of the day you will be in the unemployment lines along with all the rest of us.

1. True. I gave up cable in 1996.
Wanted to save a few dollars each month, especially after the cable company raised my rates.

I now get my news from the BBC and the internet, and I don't miss TeeVee one iota...

3. I have a lot of friends and more everday who have given up cable TV
They use the computer and Netflix and they seem a lot happier than me.
