Could this work?

Hi, I know I am presenting this Blog site as a real estate Blog, and I certainley have drifted at times away from that subject. So I will drift once more. The Governor of Maryland was on MPT tonight on TV and there was a direct connection that I could not get a free line on- therefore I decided to post this Blog instead.

Incoming money to the states is a huge problem now because of the economy, and Maryland is not excluded from this problem. During WWII there was a program put in place called "War Bonds". This program helped fund the war in monetary terms, but the great success of this program was what it provided to each person that participated. Each person that purchased a "War Bond" felt that he or she was directly helping the war effort by buying that Bond. We are in a war with the economy, we need to show that we have a positive up wards direction to our economy- and to do this we must turn the confidence of the people. How can we do this-"Bonds". I don't know what marketing title you may give these Bonds, but i feel that this will work. There are a multitude of Marylanders that believe in their state and would do anything to be part of the solution to fix it. Americans are competitive and each Marylander would love to brag that Maryland came out of the economic downturn before all other states as a result of residents purchasing "_______Bonds" and turning Maryland into a solvent economy! Granted that as soon as we try this other states will get on the band wagon, but would that be a bad thing?? CONFIDENCE is our problem, and as much as I would pray that throwing $870 Billion Dollars at various possible targets might solve this problem, IT WON'T, until the people believe it will. Give people a part in correcting the problem-let them purchase Bonds.

I will now step down from my "Soap Box", but I really think this will work!
