Tax Rebate

[steve dave]

What are you going to buy with your tax rebate in June (est.)?  I think I will either go with a fur coat or a dune buggy!

I'm spending it on fixing up my garage which is already underway...so basically that refund is not getting spent.

new gutters.

I really don't want to see the sort of hookers you'll be able to afford after buying the rest.

70 $1 hookers purchased from Steve Dave

[michigancat]

800 $1 hookers or one $800 hooker.

That, or an $800 car.

This seems to be something that all denomination of politician are getting behind.  I would like to know if it would be the same if this were not election season.  I like that Bernanke endorses it but would like to hear his thoughts on how stimulus should be taken on.  I will do my part and spend the $$ but is it a short term fix that only exacerbates the long term problem?  The debt of Americans is accelerating towards a place I don't like.  I am a fiscal conservative and generally endorse this kind of thing but have concerns.  Also, if June is the date will it be too late to stop most of what it is aimed at stopping?  I want to know where exactly Bernanke thinks we are on the mystical Bell Curve.

So, to summarize, 800 $1 hookers would seem to make much more sense than one $800 hooker.

have you thought about 8 $100 hookers?  or 10 $80 hookers?  my concern would be that the 800 $1 hookers wouldn't feel themselves appreciably wealthier after earning your patronage, simply hoarding the money rather than spending.

conversely, the $800 hooker is probably already rolling in money, and incapable of increasing her consumption of consumable merchandise and services.

Yes, in depth.  The $1 hooker is going to turn over every cent of that $1 immediately to the crack man.  That is a 100% multiplier right there.  Now, you know, said crack man does not deal with banks.  He is going to buy a) gold, b) platinum or c) rims.  Either way he ain't keeping any of it.  Thats a 200% multiplier right there.  Then, depending on the quality of said gold, platinum & rims you may run into problems with the money stopping it's journey towards our country's economic nirvana.  Either way, the $800 hooker probably immediatley gets to the gold, platinum & rims thereby removing the middle man and breaking the chain of economic upturn.

i can't fault the logic.  $1 hookers it will be.

[Saulbadguy]

I will probably owe money.

I'm going to do everything they don't want me to do.  I'm going to invest part of it in the college fund for my daughters and part of it in our Roth IRAs.

Then I'm going to ask my wife to pretend to be a $1 hooker.

Pretend?

$800 in 2008=nice new TV.  $300 in 2001=decent new TV.  Coincidence?

[powercatmiller]

Nothing, Im married, Im sure she has plans for it though
