The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I’ve been doing my part, and I thank you for your help!"
Eliot Spitzer (former Governor, New York)
Yes, don’t we know it!!!
Hat tip: Winchester whisperer.
So much of this is true, however hopefully some of it is channeled into local coffers.
Thought that was you swearing for a moment, Ellee. 🙂
In the US elected officials get in to trouble for spending money on prostitutes…
here in the UK they get in to trouble for spending money on nannies!
Here’s got a point. It can be hard to buy products from one’s own country.
Good old Spitzer. Jolly attractive woman that prostitute too. I’m sure he’s an arrogant git but I have to say I refuse to join the masses in condemning him for adultery cos it’s no-one’s business but his own and his wife’s.
Have to confess though that I am into Belgian and German beers and most of the prostitutes round here send most of their money back home to Eastern Europe. Not that I use them I hasten to add!
What about us women? lol I wouldn’t waste my money on a man! lol I could do a lot better myself. ;D
I’d take that money straight to the perfumery and I wouldn’t care where the products came from!
uhu
Quite!
Mind you how many of the prossies are ‘cheap’ imports too
so what if he hired a hooker? Isn’t that what people do in Vegas? So it is ok if you do it there but not ok if he did it in nyc? That’s called hypocrisy and having double standards.
the only thing that i am against is using state’s money to pay that hooker.
Your post is extremely raunchy. if you think spending money helps economy than you have the wrong idea to begin with. Dang!
