Economic stimulus package

I found this on another blog and it gave me a giggle:

This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus
Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.


Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.


Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.



Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.

As a disclaimer, I loved my Christmas Rudd bonus, it paid my midwife and is rewiring the house!

Yes, as much as I disagree with the current administration's money management, I certainly do find free money useful!
