Termyn8or -> RE: The checks go out today...... (4/29/2008 4:19:48 AM)

Am I the only one ? Three hundred bucks would barely wipe my ass.
You can't buy a car with it, nor a decent piece of furniture. Paying down a mortgage ? When was the last time you saw a monthly payment of $300 or less, you don't even get a month ahead really. Actually if your payment really is $300 you do, but come on, nobody gets off that cheap these days.
Buy a car ? Hell that amount won't pay for most car repairs anymore. For that matter you most likely can't even get your bigscreen TV out of the shop for that much.
Notice the amount is not enough to do any good. With their form of macro math they figure if ten million people get 300 each, that's three billion in circulation.
What I say is that we should all immediately convert the money to euros, and figuratively kick them in the balls for their stupidity. Even with 100 million getting the checks, that is not even a drop in the bucket.
Notice that amount again and I challenge you to buy something made in the US. Betcha can't do it unless you stock up the deepfreeze, oh wait, we now import more than half of our food. And take a look at the tag on the deepfreeze, where was it made ?
Even if they gave people ten grand each, they would be hard pressed to buy an American car. The point is, as long as we import damnear everything this is more of a stimulus package for China, Korea, Taiwan etc., not the US.
So just blow it. Remember they want that money back next year, but that is forever from now. You might as well have a good time now.
That being said though, something occurred to me that would be good to do with the money, you can buy American and it is a very important item. Buy a gun. Better to get it on the black market these days. You won't save any money but there is no paper trail. And they will come one day for the guns.
SBFY can put it towards his Mateba and I will go to the bar and look for a fat Man with glasses. I can find them, my Dad used to BE the fat Man with glasses.
Think of the ramifications if everybody used those checks to buy guns. Enough of them buying legally might just send a message might it not ? That singularly is the very best thing we could ever do with that money, and yes, many legally. Let them see gun sales soar when those checks come out, what do you think they will conclude from that ?
