    The package is a bad idea to begin with, I'd take my extra money and invest it and make more back on my free money.

    Exactly. We have a huge deficit, so let's borrow a few more $billion from China to give everyone a couple hundred bucks to spend on Chinese made LCDs. Because helping everyone buy a T.V. will really stimulate the general economy. :rolleye2:

    Maybe they should instead start teaching Americans not to max out their credit cards and buy houses they can't afford, with variable interest rates that they can't afford. Or stop sending all our money to foreign countries instead of giving incentives to keep American businesses in the U.S, and buy American. Or stop supporting illegal workers who send all their money to relatives in foreign countries. :mad:

    Your most likely right, which is the sad thing. But hopefully a good portion will invest in American companies / American made things.

    I am pretty sure I will be investing in some BP morph from Adam. Maybe by then the weather will be better and I will have the ones still waiting over there as well.

    Most of our govt agreed with the package, are you waiting for all of them to leave office?;)

    Wil if I had one, I would buy smoe snakes and some racks. So how do I go about breeding snakes, and getting tax deductions for it for my parents?

    Rock on.

    Don't worry, a ton of people are sending it back. Only, they're leaving out the middle man and sending it right back to China. Too bad China won't count all that money as a payment on borrowed funds.
