As you may have heard, the Bush Administration said each of us would get a rebate check to stimulate the economy.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If we purchase a computer it will go to India.
If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.
If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan.
If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.
And none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at yard sales, since those are the only businesses still in the US.
Back in the heartland, Thank God!

I'm depositing our "stimulus check" (a.k.a. bribe), and immediately writing a check for the same amount to send into the bloodsuckers (a.k.a. IRS) as an estimated tax payment for 2008 taxes.

Proudly representing oil companies, defense contractors, and firearms manufacturers since 1980. Because merchants of death need lawyers, too.

I have no idea what she will do with it.

For all of you getting one, you're welcome!

I should be getting one sometime this week.
Buying myself a 30th birthday gun, and I am looking forward to that big time. The rest will be headed for my july trip to San Diego with the family.

We should all spend it in Mexico maybe if we grow their economy the illegals will all go home.
Naaa must be the Corona talking.

No if we spend our checks there, they will just walk here wearing better shoes.

I know the Stimulus starts to decrease at $150,000 AGI. Does anyone know when it is completely gone?
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

I predict most of the Gov't checks will be spent paying off credit card bills used to buy gasoline.
The stimilus results will be in by September.
