Thanks George

I hear that George Bush is sending out orders to have the IRS mail me a check for $600 next year as a kind of "sorry the economy is screwed up" gift.

Well, for me, that $600 is just going to wind up in my bank account and get spent along with the rest of my cash... barely even noticed.

For the rest of you Americans though, I'm sure that $600 will come in very handy in getting your $250,000 house out of foreclosure.

I saw a sign at a used car dealer in Seattle when I was in the States over the holidays. It read:

"We now accept Euros"

The shape of things to come?

Well, my spending the Greenbacks in the LOS is about the same as the average American spending their money in Walmart. The only difference is that only 75% of the money that you spend in Walmart goes to China versus 100% of my dollars going to Thailand.

Better a $500 refund than a tax RAISE by the democrats.

Jil Wrinkle said...

That's no problem Issarat. You currently owe the United States government $30,000.

The Democrats don't have to raise your taxes, but the debt you've authorized Congress to run up has to be paid now. So how would you prefer to pay for that? By check or money order?
