What will you do with YOUR economic stimulus money?

an economist/professor told that to rush limbaugh as a way of explaining tax cuts and combat the tax cuts for the rich argument. If im recalling correctly it was a democrat economist.

I think that it was Walter Williams. He's black, but he's no Democrat. He is an assistant professor at the EIB Network.

no it wasnt walter williams. he has given credit for the ex. to someone else as he has repeated it when co hosting. the person was from mass. and pretty sure was at MIT and was/is a regular for cnn. just to many names to think of to remember theirs.

Well, I DO need to replace the batteries in my Cypres. That and the repack should leave about enough for a dinner date and maybe a movie (she has a free pass worth $10) with the little lady.

So when you guys spend my money, put it on hookers and strippers.

Quote

My new proposal - this money, by law, should only be spent on hookers (where legal of course) strippers, Jack Daniels or other US-made spirits, or McDonald's. Contribution to charity (as Bush did with his first rebate check) savings, paying off mortgages, paying off student loans etc should be strictly prohibited as contrary to the spirit of the rebate and the spirit of the age.

That is exactly my plan. Sitting in a strip bar drinking JD. If I thought that moderators drank, you could go along.

It appears all y'all were pretty darn close in your prediction:

"President Bush Boosts Porn Industry With Economic Stimulus Plan, According to AIMRCo"

"An independent market-research firm, AIMRCo (Adult Internet Market Research Company), has discovered that many websites focused on adult or erotic material have experienced an upswing in sales in the recent weeks since checks have appeared in millions of Americans’ mailboxes across the country.

"According to Kirk Mishkin, Head Research Consultant for AIMRCo, 'Many of the sites we surveyed have reported 20-30% growth in membership rates since mid-May when the checks were first sent out, and typically the summer is a slow period for this market.'

"Jillian Fox, spokeswoman for one of the sites reporting figures to AIMRCo, added, 'In a June 15, 2008 survey to our members, thirty two percent of respondents referenced the recent stimulus package as part of their decision to either become a new member, or renew an existing membership.'

"Fox also added, 'Getting more people to buy porn was probably the last thing Bush had on his mind when he came up with his 'stimulus package,' but we'll take it.'"

Apparently it was stimulating.
