Looks like $800 for singles, and $1600 for couples.
My first thought was "Yo! Big old high-def LCD 1080p TV here I come!"
But then I thought -- hey, they're imported. That won't help the US economy much. In fact, everything I could think of -- electronics, new tires for the car, even vintage wines -- is imported.
Can someone suggest good purchases I can make with my $1600 that will help the domestic economy? And I do intend to spend it...
I'm torn. I'm either going to donate it directly to pay off a tiny fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the national debt.... or donate it to the presidential candidate of my choice who realizes that increasing the national debt to fund a $800 check to people is irresponsible.

Tell you what. Send it to me and I'll see that it gets used properly.
I wouldn't help pay off the national debt as then they will have an "extra" $800 to spend.. I considered spending it but I will save it instead towards an IRA fund.

Isn't Bose made in America? Buy a Bose surround sound!
Edit: Does anyone know the qualifications to get this $800?

Wow! Great idea!
A Bose, huh? Great!
(psst. What's a Bose? I'm old...)
