I heard a commercial today hyping something called the “National Grocery Stimulus Program”; I heard another commercial today hyping a “bailout” program for credit card users.
I just love how some companies will latch onto terms in the public consciousness like “stimulus” and “bailout” to try to give themselves an aura of respectability.
It probably says just as much about the ineffective “stimulus” effect of the U.S. government’s own “bailout” programs—after all, the reason these terms are in the public consciousness is the hype given them by the mainstream media; if they worked, the media wouldn’t need to hype them.
