 STIMULUS 101 (You gotta love it America)
Stimulus 101
Sometime later this year, we taxpayers may again receive an Economic Stimulus Payment.
The Federal Government is very excited about what they are going to give us with this new program.
Let me try to explain to you how it works, using a simple 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. Only a smidgen of what you sent them.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase an HD TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.



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 ..
If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs ..
If you buy a computer, it will go to India ..
If you buy fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala ..
If you buy a car, it will go to Japan ..
If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan ..
If you pay off your credit cards or buy stock, it'll go to executive 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 Prostitutes, or
4) Beer, or
5) Tattoos.
These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S.
So, I'm going to the ball game and drink beer with a tattooed prostitute that I met at a yard sale.
