If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China or Malaysia or Indonesia or Taiwan .
If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs or Venezuelans or Canadiens.
If you purchase a computer it will go to India or Malaysia or Indonesia .
If you purrchase a calculator, the money will go to Mexico, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico , Honduras , and Guatemala (unless you buy organic).
If you buy a car it will go to Japan or Korea or Germany .
If you purchase a motorcycle, it will go to Japan, Germany, England or Italy while Harley Davidson lays people off because you dont want to be seen riding a Harley because people will think less of you and besides, who can afford a $30,000 motorcycle anyways?
If you purchase a Boeing aircraft with Pratt & Whitney engines, you will get an airframe partly made in China, Engines 80% made in Poland and China, avionics made in China, England and Germany, seats made in Malaysia and India and Mexico, drafted and designed from India and China, flown on jet fuel produced in Arab lands or Venezuela.
If you purchase useless stuff it will go to Taiwan, Mexico, Philipppines, Sri Lanka, China, Guatemala .
And none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America . You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on cigarettes, beer (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US.
Because the only other product made in America that we would use is something from a service industry to improve your house; like new storm windows made in Mexico, or a new door made in Panama, or a sink made in China.
You can, however, revive the one, true domestic industry that the United States has always made the best products in their field: Guns. And American Ammo wont ruin your weapon.
If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. WINSTON CHURCHILL
...sigh...
I just want my pie.
I’m still waiting for my pie.
I didn’t get squat the last time around, either.
I’m being oppressed!
I want pie!
:) Isn’t it infuriating how we must state the obvious to the oblivious?
Wouldn’t it be something if 90% of Americans getting checks would spend it on guns & ammo? That would send a sobering (to say the least) message to the government that you risk getting overthrown. An armed people is the distinct enemy of the Socialists.
Pay down debt, or save it. Those are really about the only responsible things to do with it at this point.
And Boeing is still the #1 exporter of of finished goods in the country. The money from those sales come back to the U.S.
Well now I am totally depressed. LOL If the government gave me 2K of my money back I would buy a car. It would be a Chevy. I have had several. They are dependable. My ‘04 has 183K and still runs like a top. So THERE!
I always buy my fruits and vegetables at the local farmer’s market. I know it’s produced locally.
Guns, Ammo, and Wild Turkey.
Oh yeah, magazines for the new guns
What stimulus check?
Seeds and ammo.
I’ll use my check to pay the taxes on my Alaska permanent fund dividend.
Truth is, they are not going to send us a check. They are going to let you take in in your paycheck (about 10-13 bucks a check) until it runs out, or take as a tax break at the end of the year.
I know that 10 bucks is going to really stimulate the economy.
