"$600 = €393 for spending money while I'm in Europe this summer. So much for stimulating the US economy."

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 might in turn stimulate the us economy because since the dollar is weak, europeans and others are buying more american goods since they are inexpensive. so who knows! maybe someone will use that money to travel to the us or buy an american car :)

"or buy an American car"
haha who would buy an American car? Especially those that are lucky enough to live anywhere but the U.S.? American cars are the definition of pure shit. I appreciate your optimism though!!
