  • Way to entrust Joe Public with 152 billion dollars

    "[hand against forehead, perplexed] But Mr. President, we gave you that money to improve domestic social programs, fix our broken healthcare system, rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and lower the cost of gas. Are we to assume that you can't figure out a way to effectively use this cash so you are just giving it back to us? [$599 went to my graduate loans, $1 went in to my checking account] "

  • C'mon to my house, to my house...

    "Bought 8 sheets of OSB subfloor and 20 boxes of laminate floor which I installed throughout our house. Since I can't sell my house, I figured we might as well improve it. The dogs were existing. "

  • How I was stimulated

    "Originally I thought I would save it for a rainy day. Then I thought I would add a lower cost guitar to my collection. I did buy one, but sold it to my friend at the same price I paid for it. I think the stimulus check really touched my heart and prompted me to start the 401K here at work and I am adding 6% a week to it. (100% company match, so why not?) I did go out and but a tire for the motorcycle, some work clothes and treated myself to a few nice dinners. Thank you U.S.A. I am proud to be an American"
