    Thumbs Up Your Federal Rebate Check...

    Your Federal Rebate Check....

    Please, spend it wisely. For those who qualify, the federal government is sending us a $300-$600 rebate, $600-$1200 for those who are married.

    If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, 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 good car it will go to Japan.

    If we purchase a bunch of useless crap, it will go to Taiwan, and none of it
    will help the American economy.
    The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes, beer, and cigarettes, since these are the only products still produced in the UnitedStatesof America.
    Kind of makes you swell up with patriotism don't it?

    Unfortunately, I buy a lot of imported beer! Maybe I'll make sure to limit myself to buying Abita, Troegs, and Flying Dog with my rebate check. :-P

    I hear that the empty lot where the TKE house used to be is a great place for a kegger.

    I am going to Greece, hopefully the stimulus check will make up for the dollar depreciation agains the Euro that I have experienced since booking my travel plans.

    Put the money to work in Ruston - donate it to Tech Athletics!

    If all 80,000 of our grads donated their $300, we would have a sweet $24MM to work with. Put that in an endowment and it would give Tech approx. $1MM / year in perpetuity.


    But I am dreaming - Tech will be fortunate to have 5 grads think to donate their manna.

    My wife and I are using our stimulus check to fly on American Airlines to attend America's game - baseball - in Denver. Then I wll ride Amtrak to Glenwood Springs, rent an American made car, and travel to an American treasure - Rocky Mountain National Park - for a vacation. We will also go see an American singer - James Taylor - in concert in Denver. We might eat some Mexican food along the way but since I've stressed using the stimulus money for American products I'll use my own money for this.

    But then if we do that, no money goes back into the economy, and the whole economic stimulus plan will have been a failure!

    Re: Your Federal Rebate Check...

    Shouldn't it only marginally matter that we purchase American products, as long as the money gets spent in America? I mean, if we are contributing to the paychecks of American flight attendents (a trip to Europe), to Best Buy employees (buying a Japanese-made LCD TV), etc., aren't we still doing more for the economy than just saving the money.
