Government Cheese

Some of it is going towards paying off my credit card, some into savings and with the rest of my return plus the little check I'm going to get my male sugar gliders neutered, buy the ferret a new cage and possibly get a snake, depending on how much I have left. I'm crossing my fingers in hopes of having enough to get a spider male. We have a spare tank just sitting around right now.

Well,
I guess if money is all American's want, then this sounds like a good deal. But, if you think about it, where is the money coming from? The government sure doesn't have it because we are trillions of dollars in debt. That leaves one source for the money. BORROW IT FROM CHINA? Yes, that is what the government is having to do. I am going to send mine back when I get it and attach a note telling them to put it towards paying back the money to China because I don't want to owe them anything.

What should be done is to waive the federal taxes taken out of our paychecks until the amount reaches $1000. That would mean that we wouldn't have to borrow the money. Is our government ever gonna learn? I doubt it.

Also, the Senate had to rewrite the bill before passing it because the House of Representatives did not get the wording right and it was going to allow illegal immigrants to get a check.

This is so dumb!!!!!

China will be outproducing and will be richer than the US within 15 years. Their economy is growing by leaps and bonds while we are stuck with stagflation(economy not growing but inflation is...very bad).

The best thing for people to do with these checks is to invest part of it, if not all of it. Then pay off debts. Recommended by my personal finance professor.

It sure is amazing how many people just hear "Free money!" and get all excited, not even caring about the problems associated with it.

On the other hand.... considering how deep the proverbial doo-doo is already, we might as well just say to hell with it and enjoy the money :)

I am going to get a nice looking pastel
