Valentine's Day

So with a battered economy, a world about to crumble financially, thousands without jobs, endless congressional battles over how to fix the economy, and a list of problems longer that the amazon river, should we even celebrate Valentines' day? Should the world leaders stop for a minute and celebrate love and friendship rather than continue their creation of ingenious ideas to save our world? The answer to the first question is a resounding an absolute "YES". Love is an intrinsic human emotion that drives us to be the best of us, or god forbid to go psycho sometimes. It is a quality that often heals our wounds and sparkles our imagination. It is simply the best thing we have and the only way we could ever save our country and our world. Forget about "hope", all you need is "love" said John Lennon once. Jesus himself said we should love each other and that would solve all our problems. So with this in mind, I would like to propose my own stimulus plan. What does it consist of? Simple, take all the love savings you have in your inner account and spend it like crazy. Invest it in a future possible gorgeous girlfriend, allocate a big chunk to your family and friends (without being too gay of course). Diversify your portfolio: Invest love in people you don't know. Donate a percentage so you could get a tax deduction. Reinvest that big IRS love check. Don't just love"American": Love your fellow foreign countries, even the French. Increase the minimum love salary exponentially until you don't want more of it. Let the unions get as much love as they want to. Ban love tariffs across the globe. Abolish the love tax starting with the next tax season. Get rid of all currencies and make love the new one with 0% inflation or deflation. Eliminate the federal reserve: There is no such thing as reserving love, we are going to spend it and invest it all. This is basically the gist of my plan. You may be wondering about the cost so here is a breakdown. Total cost to the taxpayer, $0. Total increase to the national debt, $0. Amount given to special interest groups, $0. I know this is a working draft plan that will require input from all parties but it's a good start.
With respect to the second question, the answer is a definite "Hell no". Our leaders must work day and night on a plan to revitalize this nation. We cannot afford to waste all that brainpower and Ivy-league degrees, and the occasional community college one. Having only one plan is usually not a good idea so while "liberals and conservatives" of all denomination work on their own plan I recommend us "Americans" to work on my own plan. Having said that I hope everyone that reads this blog (Mike and my brother, and the occasional lost soul) a happy Valentine's day.
