    How to use the rebate

    As you may have heard the Bush Administration said each and every one of us would now get a nice rebate.

    If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China .
    If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs.
    If we purchase a computer it will all go to India.
    If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will all go to Mexico, Honduras , and Guatemala.
    If we purchase a good car it will all go to Japan.
    If we purchase useless crap it will all go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.

    We need to keep that money here in America, so the only way to keep that
    money here at home is to buy prostitutes and beer, since those are the only businesses still in the US.

        If this is the case, Eliot Spitzer is a true American.

          I prefer European beer (German, Dutch, Czech). Also, a lot of prostitutes are imported from Eastern Europe and Asia.

                A good point but a little over exaggerated. Besides, get it right Steve. If you a buy a car the $$$ goes to Japan, Germany, and Korea....LOL

                  I know it wasn't perfect. I just bought grapes from Chile. But I still thought it was cute.

                      Why not invest in American stock?

                        Sigh... I wonder if America's debts is actully keeping us afloat? It seems if we paid of our massive debts, we would be a very poor country with no ties to depend on globalization economy since we wouldnt be generating no incomes from our own lands?

                          I've seen the same little ditty, but instead of beer, it said go to garage sales since that seems to be the only truly American business anymore.

                              That is not true. India does not make computers, she only makes computer engineers.

                              Sorry, back to the fun part.
