Stimulus Payment Info.

"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. Only a smidgen.

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.


Below 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 the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer it will go to India.
If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and
Guatemala (unless you buy organic).
If you buy a car it will go to Japan.
If you 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. You can keep the money in
America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend
it on prostitutes, beer and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since
those are the only businesses still in the US.

There was an awesome episode of West Wing about a tax rebate.

Bartlett was telling Charlie how it was important that he spend his rebate on a TV or some other consumer product as it would help to stimulate the economy. Charlie was contending that the smart thing to do was to pay off a credit card. He then commented how it was not really a rebate since next year that $250 would count towards his income and he would then have to pay taxes on it. In short it was nothing but a bribe. Bartlett agreed with everything he said then told him in a slightly mocking manner that he needs to be a good American and go but a TV.

Aaron Sorkin put it all in better words but it was a brilliant little 5 minute conversation and is still applicable today. :)
