How Are You Going To Spend Your Stimulus Check?

The following gives a good insight of what is happening in America. I thought this was a topic since I visited my hometown swappers meet this past weekend. This was the first open weekend of the season although the weather was just OK there were more sellers and buyers than I expected. This was exciting for me since it has been about 12 years since I last attended.

As you may have heard, the Administration said each of us would get a 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 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.

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