My idea to stimulate the economy...
I was sitting here thinking of a way to generate economic growth that would stimulate many industries and really get the cash flowing...
This will be better than any TARP program, any "green jobs" initiate, any "jobs bill"...
Make every ****ing day Valentines Day...ridiculous holiday where a ton of money is spent. The amount of $$$ spent on this day is insane  I think it's a flawless idea...economic growth, plenty of sex....it's a win win situation 
I was at the store to get some breakfast stuff(Acme and CVS) and the lines were packed with guys buying flowers, candy, stuffed animals etc. If you that 365 days a year we could really get back on track. 
***Disclaimer*** This is in no way a bashing/political thread..it's a V-Day bashing thread. Mods can delete this if they feel it's going to go in an ugly direction.

I like how my local florist jack the rates up from $2 to $6 a rose a couple days before, and up until Valentines Day. $70ish for a dozen roses

Here's my gripe with Vday.
If you buy anything, the lady is expecting it and you don't get any positive points. The only thing that happens is you simply don't get deducted points.
If you buy your lady a single rose / carnation / sun flower / ANYTHING on any random day of the year with no significance, it will mean more than two dozen roses on v-day by factors of exponential powers.

no gifts were exchanged between me and the woman. with all the moving bs and the recent meltdown of my desktop (thank goodness for the old laptop) money is being spent elsewhere at the moment.
the best present of all is the new 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house were moving into thats half the price what were paying now for a 2br 1 bath

Its a commercial holiday through and through the only sure winner is the retail end. With hope others get lucky too.
