Economic Stimulus,.. a little humor about that.

Taken off facebook...

Economic Stimulus



Sometime this year, we taxpayers will likely receive another economic stimulus.

It is indeed a very exciting program, and I’ll explain it by using a Q&A format:

Q: What is an Economic Stimulus?

A: It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q: Where will the government get this money?

A: From taxpayers.

Q: Is the government simply giving me back my own money, then?

A: No, only a smidgen of it.

Q: What is the purpose of this payment?

A: The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high definition television set, a new iPad, or a new SUV, thus stimulating the economy.

Q: Isn’t that stimulating the economy of China?

A: Shut up.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U. S. Economy with your stimulus check. Use it wisely:

* If you spend the stimulus money at Walmart the money will go to China or Sri Lanka.

* if you spend it on gasoline, it money will go to the Arabs.

* if you purchase a computer, it goes to India, Taiwan or China.

* if you purchase fruits and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.

* if you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea.

* if you purchase useless stuff, it goes to Taiwan.

* if you pay your credit card off, or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.

Instead, keep the money in America by:

(1) Spending it at a yard sale or thrift shop, or

(2) Going to a ballgame, or

(3) Spending it on prostitutes, or

(4) Beer, or

(5) Tattoos

(These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S.)

CONCLUSION: Go to a ballgame with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day.

No need to thank me, just pass it on.

This ain't whooo, something very screwy going on here.

The federal stockpiles of medical PPE gear, which is desperately needed by American hospitals and ambulance first responders is being packed up on pallets and shipped to Taiwan, South Korea, China, and Italy. What goes here, what about the calls and crusades of AMERIKKKA FIRST by Team trDumpie ?

Beyond all that.

What the fuck is this info spreading on the media and nooks and crannies of the Internet...

The federal government is reducing their stockpiled medical PPE inventories with this privatized or some call it public/private scheme.

Get this,

They are depleting the stockpiles by transferring the medical PPE back to private medical supply vendors. Then these vendors sell the government owned PPE at an astounding and obscene markup.

What the fucking fuck,... ?

Here is the US Army General who commanded the troops during Hurricane Katrina. He is addressing the issue of the federal stockpiled PPE as pertains the Covid Crisis.

Oh what a thrill,.. no more efffffin ads any more....

Just sent in my $100,000.00 certified check to DU, to buy my way into membership.

In actuality it did not cost that much,.. very compassionate here they have a very generous sliding fee scale.

NO ADVERTISEMENTS clogging up your screen and slowing down the works, is well worth the dinaro.

Sides these boys run a pretty tight ship, support their efforts so they don't file bankruptcy or nothin before election day.

God help us all if Democratic Undies-ground was not here to keep us all tethered to earth.
