Booze Stimulus

Sometime tomorrow, or in the next few days for sure, we are going to get saddled with a massive tax bill. In the final outcome it's going to come to over $2 trillion. Do you remember how Obama promised 95% of the population will receive a tax refund(welfare). This refund(welfare) will be between $500 and $1,500. The Drudge Report from today tells us that the average American worker will receive on average $13.00 per week. This will be reduced to $8.00 per week by January 1, 2010. The common refrain to this is: "Don't spend it all in one place". Do you remember what you did with your last refund(welfare) check? That too was for the purpose of jump starting the economy. Our refund(welfare) came to $600. Liz and I went on a cruise around the world with our check. After that we went down to the Dairy Queen for cones and gave the leftover change to a couple of homeless guys. Sounds stupid, doesn't it?
With the next go round I'm going to invest in a Popov vodka, Anheuser-Busch, Miller Brewery or maybe a cigarette manufacturer. Think about who gets the money and what they'll do with it. There are a heck of a lot of low income folks who are going to fulfill life's greatest dreams; virtually unlimited smokes, brew and booze at the Jolly Time Bar & Grill. Ain't life grand. And I'm going to get rich off my investments.
