The Stimulus
In January, Congress approved $152 billion in economic stimulus checks for millions of American households, intended to boost the economy and avert a recession. Just how this money will be spent remains to be seen. We hope this website helps shed some light on where the stimulus money is going.

You were supposed to spend that money in the U.S. What part of "economic stimulus" didn't you get? Better sharpen up quick or you'll remain an unemployed social worker.

When you spend money in the USA it helps feed and clothe your neighbors. When you spend it in Canada that money goes right to Wayne Gretzky and he can afford his own trips to Ottawa

Say, Cuz
I spent mine in the USA. The problem is that everything was made in China and a bunch of Mexican National Truckers brought it to me. Oh yeah, I guess I helped keep a couple of $8.50/hour retail workers going. Sorry for being so cynical, but get a clue. This stimulus check is a big fat farce, just like so many of the federal gooberment initiatives over the last 20 years.
