Send The Stimulus Check To Wal Mart

Senator: Send Stimulus Package To Wal-Mart
BENTONVILLE, AR - A proposed amendment to the $170 billion economic stimulus package could save billions of dollars and infuse the economy even faster than originally anticipated. Arkansas Senator (D) William S. Walton is recommending that lawmakers take the main idea of the package - putting money in the hands of those who would spend it quickly - a step further by sending the entire amount directly to Wal-Mart.

"The people targeted for the rebate checks - lower and middle income families and the elderly - are the exact same demographic groups as Wal-Mart customers." explains Walton. "Since most of the money would end up there anyway, it would be much more efficient to send it to Wal-Mart directly."

The General Accounting Office has estimated the cost of distributing the stimulus package to millions of households to be about $3 billion. Walton says a single check made out to Wal-Mart could be issued for as little as $10,000. "There are better ways to put money to use than to invest more into the stimulus package." said Walton. "Let's not forget the billions it cost to collect that $170 billion in the first place."

Economists say that taxpayers would still benefit, even though they would not be receiving any checks. "A lot of the money would go right back to the government in taxes - easing the burden on individuals." says R. Frederick Jenkins, professor of Analytical Macroeconomics at Howyflyl University. "Beyond that, with an influx of about $100 billion in cash, Wal-Mart could probably afford to lower prices even more, or perhaps buy American-made products again. Either way, it's a win-win situation."

Save a step and send it back to China...from whence it came to start with.

The Admin borrowed it from there....now we'll end up paying interest on that loan. :roll: :roll: :roll:

It's not gonna matter what China is declared or is not declared nor who makes that declaration, the money is already borrowed.

The money for these $300 cks came from China...and it will go back to China via WalMart and the other ' marts'....but we'll all end up paying interest on that money.

So where's the benefit?

Gee, why would these people shop at wal-mart in the first place? As if they were all successful accountants and lawyers before the Wal-Mart boom, and as if all of Wal Marts competitors weren't trying to peddle much of the same crap.

For lots of folks...it's about all you have in your little po-dunk town. In fact... ' in town" we don't have anything but 1 grocery and 3 quik marts/gas stations.


30 miles away there is a WalMart ...or a run down ol' KMart or the Dollar Store. No matter...all those lead back to China anyway.


Some of us don't live in the high end & fancy places like SoDak!! :roll:

That's kind of what I said kolan, they're all trying to peddle the same tihs, altho there's plenty of stuff that really doesn't belong in that category. Not really fair to always target WalMart when there's plenty of others trying to figure out how to take their place. And you're only 30 miles away from major retailers....must be some friggin metropolis :twisted:
