The federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600 rebate.

If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, 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.

The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes and beer since these are the only products still produced in the US.

That settles it. I recall reading somewhere, when men stare at womans breast it reduces his blood pressure. I'm converting my rebate to dollar bills and trade them in for multiple sessions of physical therapy to lower my blood pressure.

i for one want to know how the government can afford this. were already billions and billions of dollars in debt to everyone, and now were spending billions more dollars. thats not to say im not appreciative, but when the government starts literally handing out free money, i begin to get more than a little suspicious.

Take a basic economics course. One of the first things you learn in macro economics is the primary action to stimulate the economy is to make sure people have money to spend, and increase government spending.
This translates to tax cuts, and the war in Iraq :P Theoretically we should be in an economic boom.

If they give us money we will spend it and therefore relieving other debts and then more spending and the more we (the people spend) the higher and better the economy gets therefore allowing the GOVerment to pay off debt.

When you have money you spend it, when you don't, you don't.

money rolls threw the economy like water threw a generator (water power)
the faster it rolls threw, not more rolling threw, the more electricity.
if we all spend it right away so many companies and small businesses and what not will get that little extra boost they need to pick up again. its like a jump start for the economy.
(and lights, if you mean strippers i dont know where your going in montana?) all our hot chicks move away with military boys(gigidy giggidy, alright, thats me)

haha, only strippers i knew (3) were all under 20 single parents.

I guess I'm going to be spending my money out of state than. LOL
Usually business trips wind up in such place. Dam, the bad luck.
A dollar doesn't go far anymore. A Washington just doesn't get any respect these days, but Ulysses S. Grant will greatly increase the attention.

Flying out to Milwaukee for a few days first of June. I'll contribute to the economy there.

If I were president the world would be a different place. First we would start a beautiful America Plan.
Any woman over 30 would qualify for a 401-S plan. For each dollar she put into the plan the government would match $1000 towards Saline Breast Implants. :beer:

If the medical study was correct about staring at women breasts, men's blood pressure will drop, meaning they will live longer and continue to contribute as a tax paying citizens.
Generally speaking, as a man ages, his income increases proportionally putting him into a higher tax bracket.

This will also greatly increase the drink buying in the bars, another boost to the economy.

Another "Win" "Win" stimulus package :thumbsup:

Vote "Allen" for president

I think the government wants people to live shorter not longer considering social security will be running out soon and I don't think the president nor the government cares about even half of us

I guess i never answered the original question. I will be spending my rebate on jack crap. its going strait into savings.

Mines gone, I think it went towards.... fuel pump, injectors, oil housing, oil cooler, water neck and t-stat, downpipe, oil lines, and 02 housings.... and probably some yuengling..... actually I know some Yuengling

i heard that the government is just printing more money. The more american bills that are circulating, the less valuable they become, the more expensive goods become etc.. etc... hopefully something good comes out of it.

first off. the government doesn't print us dollars the US mint ran by the federal reserve does. the federal reserve is about as federal as "Federal Car Sales" a dealership with that name. its just a name given to a bank holding all the dept of the USA. if you look at the US dollar today you will notice that it states that this note is legal tender for all depts public and private. the old American dollar said it is redeemable in gold. so now our money really is just paper and even though using fake money is federal offense, it is only because the federal reserve has the ability to foreclose on anything they choose due to its complete control over all our nations dept.

every dollar spent and every dollar printed leaves a larger dept because its stretching the worth of the gold out longer as well as incurring a interest rate.the dollars the federal reserve prints out to loan have a interest rate and then are paid back to the federal reserve then again incurring more dept. the gold is collateral the "federal reserve" acquired through shady dealings in the early 1900's. the federal reserve then loans out represented notes of the gold with tacked on interest of course. we will never get out of dept due to this bank that controls our entire nations dept that we supposedly owe to the rest of the world. we owe more money to the federal reserve than any other country including france who gave us the 3 billion dollars.

type zeitgeist in your google search engine and watch the 2 hour streaming video about what we call our national cornerstones of the American dream. it shows you and proves certain aspects of history that you may never see anywhere else. everyone seems to think that the dept we have is mostly owed to china, but it is not its some rich private businessmen who make up like four families that we owe the most money to. all because the interest they tag on top of every dollar they print. don't believe me? just watch the movie and then do some key word researching on google and you will find more than enough documentation to support the facts.

now as far as the social security running out. it is said by CNN that social security will no longer be able to pay all benefits promised buy 2017. they also stated the only way to change this would be to raise income taxes from 12.4% to 14.32%. give all the Mexican, and Filipino, Cuban, and Chinese, free citizenship to the USA, all the illegal immigrants working in the united states turning to paying taxes equaling upward of 12 million immigrants today would easily balance out the scale for the missing 1.92% needed to support social security for another 75 years. as it sits now it looks like our parents won't even receive social security. my mom has another 10 years to go before she can even file for it, and by then, it will be too late.

Anyways you all realize that the only people receiving a full tax rebate($600 per individual) individuals earning less than $75,000 dollars in the year 2007. you will also receive an additional $300 per child in the house up to age 17, and all the upper class Americans earning above $75,000 are only getting a partial. you can look that up if you like, but i'm reading off a site right now. i plan on taking my wifes rebate, my rebate and our sons money and taking my son to Utah for a vacation. my wife won't be able to go, but shes in the military and she is still in training so she can't go anywhere.

Hey I got mine last fri.$600 to pay speeding tickets,groceries,and gas.... yeaaaaay. last two #'s 03

Do a search Bush borrowed the Tax Rebate money from China! :laughing:

when are all the stimulus checks supposed to be delivered by? i havnt gotten one yet...

What I find outrageous is the amount of debt the Federal Government has already racked up. We owe $3 TRILLION to foreign nations and I'm not sure if that is included in the $9.5 TRILLION national debt. If this stimulus is financed through foreign investment then it has to be repaid plus interest. So this money is hardly free and not likely to stimulate a whole lot. To make matters even worse Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid is supposed to cost $58 TRILLION by 2040 or so. To put that in perspective, that's the combined worth of the entire planet according to the CIA World Fact Book. And just for good measure, some of you may have heard about the $45 TRILLION cure for "global warming." I don't know about you guys, but OMGWTF?!? Where's Raptor Jesus when you need him?

WWIII..................

One of the most educated posts I've read on thi messageboard to date. Bravo. :)

Yes this country is great, however, do we deserve to win?
The plight of the people right now is everywhere you look in one way or another,even in comparison to 2-3 years ago.Our country seems to be becoming less and less stable as we are led(not wholey in part by Bush)but by an unstable government, Sheesh, half the d country is led by the media anyways and our debt to other country's is not helping in any way, when do we plan to repay this debt?
Never...the question is what country is tough enough to make us pay.
I for one am disgusted and embarresed at the way this administration is handling the things abroad and here.
Maybe they know something we dont or maybe they figure why try to stop the inevitable.

I'm buying a hooker.
