Economic Stimulus Payment Explained - 03-23-2010, 10:40 AM


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. No, they are borrowing it from China. Your children are expected to repay the Chinese.

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. Oh, be quiet.

That's funny, and sadly true.

Still I rather live here in the US of A. than in China, or Vietnam or Cuba, the only 3 communist countries left in the world.

I don't know.. I hear discussions like this one are really bad for your health in Cuba.
