OUR ECONOMIC FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS

• IF YOU ARE TOO FEARFUL OF AN IMPENDING DOUBLE-DIP TO SPEND MONEY, THEN YOU WILL CAUSE A DOUBLE-DIP.

• IF YOUR SAVING MORE THAN EVER BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID OF LOSING YOUR JOB, THEN YOU'RE MAKING IT MORE LIKELY YOU WILL LOSE YOUR JOB.

• IF YOU WANT THE ECONOMY TO GROW, THEN YOU HAVE TO PLANT SEEDS OF GROWTH - BY SPENDING MONEY.

• YOUR PURCHASES ARE THE SEEDS OF FUTURE PROSPERITY.

• NEITHER THE GOVERNMENT, NOR THE FED CAN MAKE THE ECONOMY GROW; ONLY YOU CAN - AND ONLY IF YOU YOUR SPEND MONEY.

SPEND IT!
