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.
