theoretically, you spend the money, demand for shit goes up, companies need more workers, workers get more money, they spend that, and so on and so forth. however in this case it would be like the gov’t borrows from foreign interests, gives you a check, you buy foreign-made products with it, and between your purchase and the interest you pay, you help everybody else instead. ---

Since I am “rich” according to the democrats, I will probably not be eligable for the rebate. ---

last time they did this it appeared to work… people spent most of the money putting it back into the system. ---

Too bad they can’t make it a “gift certificate” for American made products, (Not valid at WalMart).🙂 ---

I am not judging, I just want to help the US of A. I do buy less Chinese than most though. The boots(Lowa) I have on were made in Germany and my shirt(KUHL) was made in Canada. ---

Manufacturing days and industrial America is basically done now, or at least until third world companies become more developed and can no longer be a viable means of production. It’s a service based industry now, and a global economy. Instead of needing to be concious of a fellow Contrymen, we now need to shift our thinking and be concious of a our fellow men. I’m such a damn hippy sometimes. ---

First off if you don’t like this plan, which I don’t either blame your president, this is the second time he has done this in his administration. He’s the one putting this country in billions of dollars of debt. But I do agree with you about people and credit cards. I’m about 5k in debt and its pissing me off trying to lower it. ---

> [@StrokedZ28](#): > > First off if you don’t like this plan, which I don’t either blame your president Wrong. He suggested it and said it should be 1% of the countries GDP. **Your** (read democrat) controlled congress is in charge of coming up with the details. Or they could just as easily say “we’re not going to spend this money we don’t have”. But they won’t, because everyone wants to claim giving America this refund for the election coming up. ---

seriously, what does 800 dollars do for people? I’ll take it and throw it in my hsbcdirect account I suppose, but printing money that the gvmt doesn’t have is stupid.
