Or at least I am going to. You see, I am a part of a certain group of people who are going to use our US Economic Stimulus checks for nefarious purposes (as opposed to nefarious porpoises, which is an entirely different story).
Thats right, I am going to use my money, handed down from on high to aid the faltering US economy, to buy high-end Japanese electronics. I’m not even buying them from a US company, I am doing it all over the interweb.
And I don’t feel bad about it.
I don’t feel bad at all, and there are a couple of reasons: A) If I was to buy something here in America, it would be 2 months of rent and (maybe) a tank of gas and B) My 600 dollars, of which a large deal will be swallowed by taxes and sequestration in my change jar, is not going to do a damn thing for the economy when we are 4 trillion dollars in debt and getting deeper by the Bushy decree.
Now I know that there are some of you out there saying that I’m un-patriotic (completely untrue) and that I don’t really understand the math and economics of what is going on (totally true) but those people don’t realize some thing fundamental about my condition: I need a new mixer.
And headphones.
So if those people are willing to send me 400 bucks for a new mixer and 100 bucks for new headphones, I am more than willing to go buy new clothes at a wholesome American clothing outlet so that they can pay their bills to Asia, where all of their clothes are made.
