What to do with that pesky economic stimulus payment?

Jump to Comments

The Bush administration has concocted a scheme to revive our economy. They’re giving back 150 billion (give or take) of our tax dollars, in the hope that we’ll do what we do best in America: buy stuff.

What if we didn’t buy stuff though? What if we took our 300/600/1200 dollars, and spent it on something the Bush administration doesn’t value, like say, children’s health programs or education? What if we put our money into alternative energy research, since god knows the government won’t.

There are a lot of people struggling in this country. What if we used our refunds to help them out? How hard would it be to give up your economic stimulus payment?
