<P><FONT size=2>this is what I got from a friend....<BR><BR></FONT><FONT
size=2><FONT face=Arial color=#008000>How to use your rebate check--<BR><BR>If
you spend it at Wal-mart, it will go to China.<BR>If you spend it on a computer,
it will go to India.<BR>If you buy produce, it will go to Mexico, Honduras, or
Guatemala.<BR>If you buy a quality car, it will go to Japan.<BR>If you buy
electronics, it will go to Japan, too.<BR>If you buy cheap junk, it will go to
Taiwan.<BR>So, spend your rebate check at yard sales. That's the only
truly American business left.<BR><BR></FONT><BR>Me? we're paying off
bills.</FONT></P>

Vision2020<BR>Subject: [Vision2020] rebate checks<BR><BR>I hate to detract from
the abortion and Mexican Consulate threads but I<BR>was just wondering what
people here plan on doing with their rebate checks.<BR><BR>Do you think they are
a good idea? Will it help the economy of the US? <BR>How about our
local economy?<BR><BR>Have you gotten yours yet?<BR><BR>For myself, I plan to
throw $200 of it at my line of credit at the bank<BR>that I'm trying to pay down
(it's the last debt I have that isn't backed<BR>up with a house or a car) and
spend the rest on some stupid gadget I<BR>don't need, possibly a Wii.
That's assuming I can find one. If not a<BR>Wii, then maybe a
Kindle. If not a Kindle, then I'll probably just put<BR>it in my checking
account and let it help me keep from going
negative.<BR><BR>Paul<BR><BR>=======================================================<BR> List
