So, if a new Stimulus Program comes around....WHAT WILL YOU BUY?

Heh, granted... if we get one we should be ripping it up.

However... if you do cash it...what will you buy?






Personally, i'll be buying something to prepare me for whenever martial law comes around :rolleyes:

You're assuming we all get a stimulus check. Redistribution of wealth SUCKS if it's your wealth they're distributing.

I still don't have my first ones. :D

I figure they need it more than I do. After all I am on a small limited income.

You forgot to add the option of "nothing" because you really don't get any real value from the stimulus checks because they fired up the printing press to issue them. So you get a stimulus check and higher prices which cancels it out...

I didn't get one last time. there is no reason for me to believe I'm getting one this time. But I'm sure I'll get a nice letter TELLING ME that I'm not getting shit as they tax my ass to the hilt.

Survival preps. With this latest check, we'll definitely need it. Everytime these idiots pull something like this they just screw up our financial situation more

I doubt this will happen folks.

The check would have to be very substantial for it to do any good the way things are right now... Or maybe I should say for it to appear to do any good....

I do not see the government writing us a $35,000 - $70,000 check to help pay off our debt. They only do that for the very wealthy....!

It would be nice though if they are going to spend our money and put us further into debt, why don't they at least let us keep our houses?

I feel bad for those who have lost their houses already, now they have no home and they have about $37,000 more debt per person added to that. It is a sad time in America for sure... :(

I'm pretty sure they would only be around 1,000 each

I'm sure my stimulus check wouldn't be this big but I'd love to buy an F2000. I think a NATO compatible weapon is a must.

LOL...well according to this article (http://www.local12.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=09f33bc6-cd49-40ae-a0cd-8e81b5974df3), "It's desperate times. The price of crack cocaine rock has jumped from twenty dollars to sixty." :p
