Sometime this year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and 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. No, they are borrowing it from China. You children and grandchildren are expected to repay the Chinese.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will 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.

Here is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.

If you spend it on gasoline it will go to Hugo Chavez, the Arabs and Al Qaeda

If you purchase a computer it will go to Taiwan.

If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, Chile, and Guatemala.

If you buy a car it will go to Japan or Korea.

If you purchase prescription drugs it will go to India

If you purchase heroin it will go to the Taliban in Afghanistan

If you give it to a charitable cause, it will go to Nigeria.
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 prostitutes, beer (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US. :sifone:

From what I can gather, if you are single and make over $75K (like me), you ain't getting squat! :mad:

What I've been trying to figure out is when did $75K become alot anyway... I mean.. $75K in NJ with a wife and kid or two... you can't afford to own a decent home unless you have a lot of "help"..... Reality Check!!:(:leaving:

Dude! Sweet!

Or in SoCal, where secrataries make $75k and have to live in one bedroom apartments... but hey, at least we save money on snow shovels. Although I spent that cash on a bullet proof vest.

Funny...but not.

I'm no construction worker, but I am white, with a job and I pay taxes; thus I don't get sht. Which is fine, I don't want anything. I just want everyone to contribute what they can, so that I don't have to support so many dumb-ass, lazy, over-leveraged azzhats!

:( :mad:

The stimulous package is a joke. They have so much pork in this thing it is not funny. All they wanted to do was rush it through so that we could not see all the BS that they put in it. They already got caught and had to remove the millions to low incom people for contraception. This will NOT create any new jobs. How is over a hundred million bucks to ACORN going to stimulate the economy???? The good news if there is any over this package is that the republicans FINALLY held their ground and said NO. The Obama administration said that they stood for change. The last three depresions we got out of with tax cuts not gov. spending. You have to go all the way back to the great depresion or more recently the Japanese depresion to see that gov. spending does NOT help. Japan practicaly paved over the country with all their government jobs and it failed. They don't care about the future, they just want to spend as much money as they can. We are in for a record deficiet with this administration.

You misunderstood what I wrote.... I'm saying the government, not clay, says $75K is "rich" and taxed as such...... And americans loose a lot of these "stimulus" checks if they make more than 75. I think they're still living in the stone age or maybe some podunk town in nome alaska..

I hear ya.... My company is owned by a white male..... Due to not being a minority owned, veteran owned or WBE (Woman's Business Enterprise) we have a tough time acquiring new enterprise sized clients or getting on vendor lists because we are NOT a minority.... Meanwhile, my Indian owned counterparts get all the business because they're minorities... In addition to that, large companies and even the government have certain monies set aside for minority owned companies so they can meet their "quotas". So even if I provide a superior service I might not get the work.

To me that's not equal opportunity....and it feels as if I'm being treated as a "minority" because we're not a Minority, Veteran or WBE... :boxing_smiley:

I don't agree with bailing wastefull and devious companies either but if it doesn't work out I may have to get outta boating... so for the time being I'm hoping for the best and workin my azz off!!

Spending $200,000,000 to redo the lawn isn't going to do much for the economy, well the US economy. It will do wonders for the Mexican economy when the illegal landscapers send that money back to their families south of the border. Of course now that we are spending $350,000,000 on VD, those Mexicans can get a free shot in the ass of penicillin after catching the clap from $10 crack whores.......
