Love Makes the Economy Go Round

America did not need a stimulus package. All of the money that Obama gave away neither improved nor stimulated our economy. The largest stimulus plan comes from Love. One boy, proposes to one girl, and for the next year they single handedly boost our economy. From the moment she says yes, to his "will you marry me", a frenzy is set into motion. The first industry to profit from this love match is the jewelry industry. A beautiful ring is a must. Then comes the entertainment industry. Catering hall, florist, photographers, music. Formal wear must be picked out and ordered. And believe me, it is not inexpensive. Now we move on to the Bridal Registry. Hundreds of gifts are put on the list from the most useful to the most absurd. One couple....350 gifts. A honeymoon must be planned so now the travel industry gets in on the action. Next, we move on to housing. Rent or own, each one costs money. Either choice, the home furnishing people will make commissions from this young couple, furnishing their new abode. This pattern has not changed since the beginning of our civilized society. I guess the Beatles were right. All you need is Love.
