Plan B

With all the arguments and questions swirling around President Obama's economic stimulus package I thought he might like to consider a Plan B. 

Examine how simply Scott and Zach are stimulating the economy in our home:

For every "swear" word that exits their mouths they must drop 10 cents in to "The Jar".  That's it. A dime a word. Now, we're just talking PG rated swear words, not the rated "R" variety. Because fortunately (knock on wood) the "R" variety hasn't been a problem. (Well, except for a few that my son tried on after he learned them from kids at school, but that was nipped pretty quickly, and we didn't need a jar.) 

I would like you to note, though, the amount collected so far in a week's time. Who has contributed the most? I am not sure. But it is quite amusing to hear Scott come home after a long day and say, "Zach, how'd you do?"  And Zach, "Oh man, I gotta put a dollar in."  Somedays that jar sees a lot of action. 

I think this could work as Plan B. Especially if that Jar money comes back to me and I get to spend it. I'd put it back into the local economy over at TJMax or Target. See, it could work!

Of course I'd need to take issue with one thing first and that is the fact that if you look very closely, someone is attempting to pass off some plastic fakery for the real deal. That won't work in my Plan B. I wonder if President Obama has that problem?  I'll have to ask him how he deals with that one.
