Hmm... the President and Congress are scrounging around, trying to find a way to jumpstart a lagging economy. There's a possibility of taxpayers getting $600 to spend as we'd like.
So let's dream. . . how would you spend $600?
I'm thinking, pay my NiCor bill for two months, put 10 tanks of gas in my car, save up for increased tolls, water bottle taxes and the free rides I'm giving seniors on the CTA. Maybe I'll have money to pay my out-of-pocket co-pays and get a physical check up. Are those economy boosters? I might have enough left over to grab a pizza with the grandkids. Wow!
What will you do with your $600 if our Congress deems us worthy of granting us back 6 of our hard-earned Ben Franklins?
