Stimulus Package Money Trail -- Douglas ChickGovernment Rebate Check Money Trail

1. The Feds send every tax payer a $600 rebate.
2. Taxpayers purchase merchandise made in China.
3. Taxpayers purchase gas from the Arabs.
4. Taxpayers purchase fruit and vegetables from Mexico, Honduras.
5. Taxpayers purchase cars from Japan. 

 
What part of the $600 actually stimulates the American Economy?

Here's a different slant on this issue:
______________________________________
How to use Your IRS Rebate check...

As you may have heard, we're getting a tax 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 fruits and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras , and Guatemala .
If we purchase a car, it will probably go mostly to Japan .

We need to keep that money here in America .
The only way I know is to spend it at yard sales,
since those are the only businesses still in the U.S. !

WELL, whatya gonna do with that dough??

Dont buy cheap crap from Wal-Mart, it will break if the lead doesn't kill you first.

Buy gas from companies that dont import oil from the Middle East =
Citgo Sunoco Conoco Sinclair BP/Phillips.
The DOE website keeps tabs and updates who get oil from where.
Better yet, dont buy so much gas. Walk or ride a bike to the store or to work, or wherever is feasible. Reduce YOUR use.

Buy fruits/veggies from local farmers market (they taste better, too) - Always Buy Colorado -

As for cars/computers.. buy used, stimulate your neighbor... UMMM, with money

Craigslist has some killer deals, too.
I just sold one of my AMERICAN built bikes (Cannondale) there within 6 hours

Does anyone else think this economic stimulus was incredibly socialist?
