With Billions coming at you.

Will you save your Barack check, pay your property tax, your VISA bill, buy crack, buy a car, or give it to charity?

Do you really intend to stimulate the economy?

I am confident that my wife will spend hers (ours) on our grandkids. Since those five perfect kids have been born, we have done more than our share of work to stimultate the economy, and we will continue to do so. Money spent on grandchildren is never wasted!

I want to be like an uber wealthy banker when handed a tax break by bush, I will squirrel it away where it can only make ME money, legally or not, and screw everybody else...I will NOT use it to create a jobs nor let it trickle anywhere!

I've got to renovate the bathroom and hopefully with the housing industry tanking i'll get a break on the price. I was going to do that this spring regardless. So any bailout check I get goes to that. I've really been thinking about buying a gun "just in case". I used to enjoy shooting and might still enjoy it, but that's several hundred dollars that will lie on a shelf and I'd never want to be in the situation where I might need to use it. But Katrina made you realize the government can't and won't protect you and we're worse off now than then. And its going to be a tough four years.
The last stimulus check I got I gave 10% to the Red Cross for the flooding victims out in the midwest. Does the Obama bailout have any money earmarked for disaster relief?

I don't count money until its in my hand. Counting money before you have it is what caused this meltdown.

LOL - my daughter is planning to have a baby in a year or so. My hubby and I are already pricing all the necessary equipment since, of course, that new little one will need a lot when visiting his/her home away from home. Recession, depression or whatever, we will be stimulating the economy as well.

I already have five figures in my bank account... Any more money and it goes right in there... I am NOT stimulating any economy where the mantra is to steal from me...

Exactly!

I'm cashing it and sticking the bills under my mattress

(I may buy some extra ammo though)

Right into the savings account just like the past two stimulus checks.
