For you folks in the US. Any plans to buy goodies for the bike with that little stimulus check? I'm thinking of adding it to my Rocket III fund.  Just doing my part to help the economy.

I will use it all to pay bills. Might not help the US economy, but it sure will help mine.

So, lemme see if I got this right. Our gov't actually has to borrow money from China to send everyone a check, because our country doesn't have enough money in the bank to cover the checks the intend to send us to buy things probably MADE IN CHINA, so CHINA makes money from the interest on the loan they made so our gov't could send us money AND China makes money on the stuff we are likely to buy which is made in CHINA. I'm no economist or as smart as Dubya (Okay, maybe that's going a bit beyond belief), but it seems to me that this latest scheme will do more to stimulate CHINA'S economy than it will to stimulate ours. Maybe I'll use some of the money to go buy some porn and stimulate my OWN 'economy!'
(I'll be sticking anything they send me in the bank and/or buying a few more shares of... Hahahahaha, you almost caught me there, didn't ya?)

You just about summed that up. Lets keep this light so the powers that be don't put down the hammer.

The tax return check just went down to the Mouse in Orlando. At least that money will pay some wages down in Florida. Just curious, anybody know what people in Micky land make as far as wages? I already know what Eisner makes,(HOLY MICKY COW!).

If I'm not mistaken this wasn't Dubya's plan. The Dems wanted this, and actually gave up funding for other social services in order to push the bill through. Make sure you are pointing fingers at the right people...
Learning from my mistakes... again and again.

Well Matt, in YOUR case it might be little too late.
(it appears the check goin' to your old boss so he could buy that second helicopter he needed is gonna be at least a month behind the times, dude)
So, now that the shock has worn off, what is your "stimulus package" gonna be for a while?
(BTW...SOMEBODY must be asleep at the switch right now, huh?!)

I'll probably spend it on horse feed, pretty sure that's still made locally.
