Tax Refund
Rumor has it that Americans are getting @$600 a piece back from the government. I bet that GW and our friend Bernake are hoping we choose to spend every penny.
What are you planning on doing with your $600? Spend or save?
As for those foreigners who aren't as lucky as us Americans (note tone of irony here) -- if you had an unexpected $600 windfall, what would you do with it?

I'm an unlucky American, I will not be receiving any of the Economic Stimulus Plan rebate. Thus, I'll be spending my usual income instead in my normal manner.
But, if I were an American that was receiving a check, I'd probably use it to buy some of the things I could use for the house... or gas.. or insurance... or car payment... or electric bill... or the list goes on.

I'm just a dumb working person, not a economic/finance major, investment banker or Wall Street speculator. I think I'll take my $US 600 and buy Krugerrands, Euros or maybe some Aussie or Canadian dollars that GW, Bernake and the other money manipulators didn't make part of the $US 9.2 TRILLION (that's $9,200,000,000,000.00) debt.

(That's $US26,285.00 for every American man, woman and child alive today.)

oh heck if that's all it breaks down to, why doesn't everyone take out a little loan and buy out the government?
I still have a little trouble understanding this whole story of national debts
Who do they owe this money to?
No one I know is making interest on it...
Ah yes the Banks and Multinational Corporations
good thing there is ..... um ... um...
