Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If we purchase a computer it will go to India.
If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.
If we purchase a car it will go to Japan.
If we 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, or
spend it on prostitutes, beer (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those
are the only businesses still in the US.
