This was an email I got today...thought it was pretty good.
Sometime this year, we taxpayers will again receive another 'Economic
Stimulus' payment.
This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it by using a Q & A
format:
Q. What is an 'Economic Stimulus' payment ?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money ?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money ?
A. Only a smidgen of it.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment ?
A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high-definition TV
set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U.S. economy by
spending your stimulus check wisely:
If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to
China or Sri Lanka .
If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer, it will go to India , Taiwan or China .
If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and
Guatemala.
If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea .
If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management
bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
Instead, keep the money in America by:
1) Spending it at yard sales, or
2) Going to ball games, or
3) Spending it on a woman, or
4) Beer or
5) Tattoos.
(These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S. )
Conclusion:
Go to a ball game with a tattooed lady that you met at a yard sale and drink
beer all day !
No need to thank me, I'm just glad I could be of help!
;D ;)
Judy, this is sad but true. I sometimes wish America was like the 1950's,

Bad thing about that Myrna, I was so naive and dumb I would believe
anything I was told...each decade has a plus and negative...........and since
I am in this one..................I will just keep praying that one of these days
either someone gets it right or Jesus comes back. God help us all.
I have used my stimulus checks to buy US made firearms and ammunition. (Okay, so I did use one to buy a light weight Japanese bicycle). :laugh:
