603 - CIC

Do you remember the Consumer Information Catalog? It's been printed by the GSA Federal Citizen Information Center for ever. It used to be promoted on TV all the time. Remember the commercials about ordering from Pueblo Colorado? But when the internet came along it sort of faded away. Or so I thought. I was at the credit union today and there was a stack of them so I picked one up. They obviously have a website now.



You can still order pamphlets for free but most of the information is online. At least everything I checked out was there.

Oh Boy! i'm going to get the free My Money book so that I can get advice on how to manage my money from a government that is trillions of dollars in debt!

That's the spirit! Unquestioning trust in the government. The new administration will be off to a good start with backing like that. Or did I misinterpret something there?

What the heck!!! My little trash cans are back. I can delete comments again! I just deleted mine and recommented to fix a typo! I should delete John's just because I can!

I'd tell you how I fixed the problem but it's a top secret. Even I don't know what I did.

M - I still get consumer reports! Now I feel REALLY old.

F - Not to worry. It just gives me my feeling of power back!
