When that "economic stimulus" check comes - Obama gets a chunk
I can't think of anything better to do with it. By a Chinese TV with the loan from China? Nah - think I'll just give some to Barack.{Of course that is if Hillary hasn't beaten him by then}

1. I'll probably put mine in the bank. I don't agree with issuing these checks
as a form of economic stimulus. It's short term at best, and a ridiculous grandstanding gesture.

If we all bank the money (if we can, I should add, I know that some don't have that luxury), then it will serve us better than if we go out and spend it. Besides, I don't think Obama needs it at this point!

2. Unless you have some debt and who doesn't? Better to pay off
whatever debt you have that has the highest interest rate on it. You are going to get zilch interest at the bank or even in a MM account.

I do like the idea of "tithing" some of it to Obama though. :woohoo:

:dem:

3. I don't have any debt
Then again, I don't have much stuff either!

I detest the concept of tithing, no matter to whom. However, if Clinton is out of the race, I'll give any political donations to other women candidates. Anyone who say they'll vote for a woman but not Hillary should do the same. The more elected women officials we have, the greater pool of potential women presidential candidates we'll get!
