Holiday Gift Cards

Would you believe that this past Christmas the American people spent 30 billion dollars on gift cards? But guess what the businesses are hoping you don't use the cards because it ends up being money in their pockets. Some cards even have a fee up to $5 dollars you have to pay on them just to get the card. I received four cards myself and sent out about eight. To be honest I still have a couple in my billfold that I haven't used. Perhaps we should just send cash. You send me $25 dollars and I'll send you $25 dollars and we beat out the middle man. All we have to do is pay the mailman, hope it doesn't disappear in the mail and pay for the stamp. Just think 30 billion dollars floating around in the postal system. Sounds to me like a Congressional slush fund.
