<p>Well, I was thinking about it and realized the problem is that peple lost for jobs, so they need to find them. Where to find them? What a dilemma! I started thinking where do I find things that I lose, and then it hit me, whenever I lose my socks or keys I find them under the couch. So why not everyone look under the couch and end the unemplyment problem.</p>
<p>Then my girlfriend alerted me to the fact that everyone does not have a couch...</p>
<p>So the next stimulus bill should be...</p>
<p>Mouses for Couches</p>
<p>Bring a Mouse which will be used for government funded research on random things politicians and lobbyist deem important, and you'll be rewarded with a couch which you can look under for a job.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Problem Solved</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://alexmerced.squarespace.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-5732664.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Update on El Merced</title><dc:creator>alexmerced</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 10 Oct 2009 17:55:46 +0000</pubDate><link>http://alexmerced.squarespace.com/blog/2009/10/10/update-on-el-merced.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">346998:3682696:5458409</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p>&nbsp;Can't say there is much going on, I've posted some important media in the music and economics sections of the site but lately I've been focusing on mainly my work at Greico Financial Training as an instructor and spending time with my GF becky. Don't worry, I go lots of stuff in the works, and there is plenty of stuff floating around to keep you entertained.</p>

So I felt I Should create an outlet for my inner geek as well, and as former comic store owner and Suikoden fanatic I got plenty of geekiness to blog about and TV shows I'm a fan of.</p>
<p>So each week in the GeekSpot section of the site I will talk about Geeky aspects of my past and also post the latest episodes of shows I'm watching from hulu. I will also soon come out with complimentary podcast called Panda vs. Shark which will be a full blown AlexMerced.com podcast discussing everything on the site each week with the occasional friends joining in on the commentary.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So Enjoy!</p>
