having too much to do. It comes from not 
finishing what they've started."

"This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a Very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:

 

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?

A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

 

Q. Where will the government get this money?

A. From taxpayers.

 

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?

A. Only a smidgen.

 

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?

A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV

    set, thus stimulating the economy.

 

Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?

A. Shut up.

 

 

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

 

If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.

If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.

If you purchase a computer it will go to India.

If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala (unless you buy organic).

If you buy a car it will go to Japan.

If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.

If you pay your credit cards off, it will go to bank management bonuses and they will hide if offshore. Same with stock investment.

 

Instead, you can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball, football, basketball game, or spending it on beer and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only American businesses still operating in the US

Got'er done!!!

Dear Mr. Lucas;
Please don't vote for this stupid pork barrel spending bill for the sake of our future, our youth... who follow. 

email sent and faxed as well...  

now... lets see what good it does.. haha... who knows?????

have a great day! s

Oh my God... Have you heard those who serve us in congress defend this dumbass stimulus bill??

I am blown away. I just heard a congressman say... now keep this in mind, this is a bill that is 15 inches high if printed on both sides of plain paper... that "IF" something was in the bill he would vote against it and he could answer NOTHING about the bill in specifics... and he is voting in just hours.... 

It amazes me how soft and non caring we Americans have become in electing our leaders and officials..   we now have a known proven "IRS TAX CHEAT" as the chief officer of our treasurer and head of the IRS....  We have a proven non electible vice president who should be Dean of the school of bafoons! A President who has apologized for mistakes all ready and can not make up his mind and still had not said one thing concrete regarding the economy other than trying to spread fear among us so this "stimulus" package will pass... and our kids and their kids will suffer for it... 

This one bill doubles our national debt in the blink of an eye.. and within a year or two we will see double figure interest rates as a result. so get ready.. those credit cards will have 20 to 30% on them shortly... your  interest rate at bank will become 15 to 20 %... seen this in the late 70's and early 80's... except we did not have a leader telling us we were headed down in flames... sigh.. really Mr. President.. REALLY?  

The best thing I have heard in this whole discussion is ... instead of a stupid spending bill that does nothing... suspend the IRS tax collections for next two years.. take a deep seat and see what happens.. small business will go to hiring, growing.. spending, folks will instantly have more cash to do with... etc etc.. we would fix the problem without the dumbies in washington craming down our throat... "what we need"!

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. It is time for leadership. I would bet a 100 dollars that not one person who is reading this has written their elected officials to let them know.. including this author!!

But I am going to fix that right now .... and send a note to each...  My dearly elected.... 

have a great day.. i sure am... haha..
