President Bush is hoping the rebates will "give our economy a boost to help us pull out of this economic slowdown."

Now really, how much will a one-time check of only a few hundred dollars help someone whose house is foreclosing next month? 

How much will it help the auto worker in Detroit who lost his job?  Or the bank teller whose bank folded and job went with it? 

How much will it help you pay for gas later this summer when the money is long spent?

And here’s the big one – How far will that money go to help you pay the taxes on the U.S. government’s $9.5 trillion in public debt?  A debt which is heavily contributing to the economic mess we’re in, in the first place. 

Then there’s the war in Iraq – it will cost over $3 trillion.  Senator Barack Obama says the war costs each U.S. household about $100 per month. The St. Petersburg Times found Obama’s claim to be accurate. 

So if you get a tax rebate of $300, it will only take three months to get eaten up by the war costs.  If you get a rebate of $600, it will take six months.

But when you add the government’s $9.5 trillion in public debt PLUS the $3 trillion for the Iraqi war, everyone pays several hundred dollars a month in taxes alone.  Well, that kind of wipes out the tax rebate fast.

But, hey, at least it feels good. It means you don’t have to pay those miserable taxes for a month or so. And it’s always fun to get a check in the mail.  Especially a check the goverment is encouraging you to spend.

Mind you, I’m not even mentioning the $950 billion in credit card debt American’s hold.  If your tax refund has to go to catching up on credit card payments, you won’t be able to have much fun with it, but at least you can count on a bit of temporary relief.

Temporary it is, even though the president is acting like this is the cure for all time.  He’s sending a big message to our country and the world that he’s dealing with the economic problem in a decisive fashion.  But isn’t the idea a bit delusional?

Making a big splash in public is part of the "cure" – it raises expectations for everyone.  People can all look forward to a shopping spree. Storekeepers will expect people to come in an buy. We’ll all have fun.  

But then what? 

When that money is spent, will our economy have revived and re-established stability? 

As long as the value of the dollar continues to plummet, fuel and food  prices continue to rise, more homes foreclose, the severe credit crunch continues and more job layoffs are announced, I don’t see a spending spree solving our problems any time soon.

The tax rebate is more for morale than anything.  While we can use a morale boost, our economic problems need real solutions that should have started long ago.

I’m astounded that President Bush had the temerity to say, "Fortunately we recognized the signs early and took action."

Recognized the signs early?!?  Where’s he been hiding?

Experts are saying we’ve been in a recession for two years already, and the president is talking about it only now - officially calling it an "economic slowdown" to avoid using the dreaded "R" word for recession.

The tax rebate may stave off the economy from totally tanking for a while… we hope.  But there is much more going on that no one-time tax rebate can fix.

Well, I happy to report I’ve finally found two excellent, inexpensive and non-toxic ways to get blood stains out of clothing, towels and sheets that work nearly every time.

Blood Stain Removal Method One – For Fresh Stains:

If the stain is fresh or recent, Hydrogen Peroxyde will do the trick.  Simply dab a generous amount on the stain and keep dabbing until the stain is removed.  If it’s a big stain, put enough on so that it bubbles up.  Wait until it settles to apply more. Use a fresh piece of cloth or paper towel to blot the loosened blood off.  Sometimes the peroxyde needs to soak for a few minutes before all the stain can be removed.

This method will work on clothes, mattresses, carpet, upholstery.  But if it’s an old blood stain, hydrogen peroxide doesn’t do the job very well.  But the next product will…

Blood Stain Removal Method Two – For Dried Stains:

If the stain has dried, I’ve found a cleaner that works like a charm even on blood stains that have already been washed but stubbornly remain.  It’s inexpensive too.  It’s called "Goop Hand Cleaner" and you can get it at Walmart in the Automotive section.  Even thought it’s called a hand cleaner, it works great on washable fabrics of all kinds.

To use it, all you have to do is rub it over the stain (on dry fabric) and let it sit for 20 minutes or so.  Then throw the item in the washer and run it through a wash cycle.  Let it sit longer than 20 minutes if it’s a tough stain.  When the wash is finished, your blood stain will be gone as if by magic!

The best thing is its non-toxic and biodegradable.  And it works on all kinds of other stains too.  And of course, it’s fantastic for cleaning your greasy hands after working on the engine.  The label says it removes grease, paint, ink, tar and industrial dirt from hands and washable clothing.  I haven’t tried it on tar yet, but it works well on ink.

Word of warning:  Goop can lighten the area it is applied to, so first test it out on a small inconspicuous area first if you’re worried about colorfastness.

Well, here’s an unconventional way that sounds crazy: add some water to the mix. 

Now, before you guffaw, "Are you telling me I’ll save gas if I run my car on water?  C’mon!" and brush this off as ridiculous, hear me out.  I’m not saying to fill your tank up with water.  No way!   I said "add some water to the mix."  It’s a minor modification that has to be done right.

Can Your Car Run on Water?

I admit the thought boggles the mind – until you realize that water, broken down to hydrogen and oxygen, originally powered engines way before fossil fuels did (remember the steam engine).

Well, a little water in the form of hydrogen and oxygen could quite possibly increase your car’s fuel efficiency and provide you with free energy.  And it could help your engine run a lot cleaner.  Think of what that could save you in gas expenses every year.  When you add water in the form of hydrogen and oxygen to your car’s fuel, it burns more efficiently and becomes almost a green fuel.

Right now, everyone can use a more efficient vehicle.  We’re living in tough times that call for innovative solutions.  Often, the solutions require changing traditional ways of thinking.  If you’re ready to consider new solutions to saving on gas costs, you owe it to yourself to look into this a little further.

Here’s what this clean, green fuel can do for your car:

• Save on gas costs
• Increase fuel efficiency
• Extend the life of your automobile 
• Reduce engine temperature
• Reduce harmful environmental emissions and help prevent global warming
