George W Bush's so called stimulus checkto all Americans is a joke and meant only to pacify the masses and uneducated while the Cheney / Bush crime syndicate continues to fleece the economy: Allen L Roland
Here's how to use your rebate ~
As you may have heard, the Bush Administration said each and every one of us would now get a nice rebate of $600 dollars. A rebate which will obviously go to savings, debt and bills and virtually none will be spent to stimulate the economy ~ which is in the midst of a Bush recession, which is following a failed Bush occupation and an equally illegal and failed Bush war.
So, in many instances, the Bush stimulus will just be stimulating the banks ~ that are already being bailed out !
But what would happen if we actually spent it ?
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 Guatamala, if we purchase a good car it will all go to Japan, if we purchase useless nicknacksit will all go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.
