USA Stimulus Plan

[AkMike]

STIMULUS PLAN:



Sometime this year, we taxpayers may again receive an Economic Stimulus payment. This is a very exciting program. I'll explain it 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 for you to 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.



Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus 20 check wisely:



* If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China

* If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.

* If you purchase a computer, it will go to India.

* If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala .

* If you buy a car, it will go to Japan or Korea.

* If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan.

* If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.



Instead, keep the money in America by:



1 spending it at yard sales, or

2 going to ball games, or

3 spending it on prostitutes, or

4 beer or

5 tattoos.



(These are the only American businesses still operating in the US )



Conclusion:



Go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day.

You could always pay me to make trick billet sled parts! All my stuff is Made in the USA with domestic materials!

Not entirely true.

Sure, manufacturing's a hell of a lot cheaper overseas. We employ contract manufacturers in china and mexico for our products.

However, we get them here (US), run them through test, packaging, and shipping. Test needs several operators, as well as people to box and label the shipments. All the remanufacturing of the products that get returned is done in-house, there's an entire assembly line dedicated to testing and refurbishing all the components.

Then there's the engineering. All that design and prototyping (rapid proto shops in town, machine shops, plastic shops, suppliers; not to mention all our equipment and services for that equipment) is all stateside, if not local.

Can't say the same for every other company, but all our support is handled in-house. Nearly a quarter of the building is customer service.

While our products may have "Made in Mexico" or "Made in China" stamped on them, there's a lot of people employed in the USA that keep the product there.
