So they give me $800 to go buy stuff. I need a new laptop for my business. Fine; considering it will probably be manufactured in Shanghai, our government is just giving $800 to the Chinese.

So the feds give us back some of our money to buy products. Sounds nice. But how many of these products will be manufactured overseas? How does this stimulate OUR economy? Sounds to me like a way to get China to own more of our debt.

Exactly. I’m starting to think there is more than a little problem in Washington D.C.
