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.

I think you could have gotten more out of your $400 by just lighting it on fire.

you could have spend that money on the most ultimat mmo of all time...its called IRL where you can go out and have actual physical contact with things, people, and places rather than anti-social "i'm afraid of the real world" contact.

Hilarious! And funny that I thought to spend mine in similar ways. I'm a clothing designer in SL, though, and the money I make from that pays for the land I own.
Suck it, you "OMG GO PLAY IN IRL" folk. You obviously don't know a thing about it.
