• SCREWED

  

  "I didn't spend mine because I didn't receive one. I chose to go to college but I still live with my parents, therefor I don't get one. From what I see students spend much more money than adults do, therefor the government has screwed up again. Stimulate the economy? "

• Money stayed in America

  

  "Due to the fact that American consumerism has turned the stores into one big funnel with the end pointed overseas, the wife and I decided to spend our check at Yard Sales. We wanted to ensure that the money stayed in the U.S. for at least a little bit. The Oil companies didn't get a dime. The sweatshops in china and other places didn't get a dime. Good, honest hardworking Americans got our money and that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside."
