Rush Limbaugh and friends, put your money where your mouths are.

If you want to stimulate the economy, put some of your money in the pot. I have said this before. There are a few who have all the money, and they are not putting it back into the monetary system. I watch all these people who make millions running their mouths on the TV and radio about what we should do, when they have the money, and are not putting it where it would do the most good for the economy.

We all hear them talk about what we should do, and they are doing nothing to help.

I have noticed people like Warren Buffett are just using the time to make more money with little and no real effect on the well-being of bringing the economy back to a serviceable level. I can see that all these cowards who have plenty are sitting on their treasure, afraid to put it back into the monetary system. Well, if every last person in this country does not put it all on the line, this downturn will become a real depression.

Rush, you and all your friends, if you have any, put your money where your mouths are, stop buying football teams and loan your money to small businesses all over this country to help fix the problem we are now living.
