US Economy
a friend sent me this...

Quote:
As you may have heard, the Bush administration said each and every American would now get a nice rebate.
If that money was spent at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If spent on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs.
If they purchase a computer it will all go to India.
If they purchase fruit and vegetables it will all go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.
If they purchase a good car it will all go to Japan.
If they purchase useless crap it will all go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.

The only way to keep that money in the U.S is to buy prostitutes and beer, since those are the only businesses still in the US.

... and the Governor of New York had to resign just because he was trying to help the American economy ...

Incredibly true.

Even worse...the rebate money is spent that way but it's borrowed from China.

Us economy is used to be the most powerful one. I think that we need to wait for new president to see bettere changes. I'm sure they will come soon.

If Obama or Hillary are elected the economy will completely collapse. No doubt McCain shouldnt be president but at least he has some good economic policies. He actually is completely clueless about the economy but he must have some good advisers because his policies for the economy are pretty good. Best economic policies of the 3. But still America should have elected Ron Paul if they wanted to save there economy The US$ is going to collapse.

I currently have an auction at Sedo, which is being done in Euros. I've made $4 from it in the past two days because of the falling US dollar -- the 360 EUR equivalent went from $552 to $556...

That's what they said about the Bill Clinton too...didn't happen did it?

And the US still has one of the strongest economies despite our ever growing debt. Americans live well...VERY well.

I've gotta agree there.. but we still need to resusitate our flagging economy or we'll eventually losr it.

Thought I would ruin your fun by mentioning anyone that knows about economics would tell you that in fact it would help the US economy since all that money isnt leaving the country (such as salaries to workers at walmart etc.) and anyone it is stimulating the economy causing more growth so it does in fact help the economy.

Yup live long and prosper.

But I wont shop at Wal Mart. Cause its a non union store. And they only hire elderly and certain demographics and take complete advantage of them as far as wages and health benefits. Did you know in China, that the only way that they would allow Wal Mart to be there was that they had to provide health care for the workers. Why cant they be done here in the US. Sad, very sad.

I love the quote. But a minor contradiction. The money will not be going to those countries, cause the majority of them are American owned in one way or another. Either way it will not boost the American economy, it will only line the elitist weathy class. So again not helping out the majority of people.
