Whose economy do our rebates help?

Happy days are here again!

Uncle George W. is giving us a gift of free money. All that is requested of us is to spend this free gift in the United States to boost our economy.

The only question I have is whose economy?

Almost everything we Americans purchase is imported -- our food, clothing, cars, appliances, and even pet food and toys. Yes, also the ingredients in our medications and some of the medications as well.

Fellow Americans, whose economy are we really helping when we invest our free money to supposedly help our country's economy?

The check you put in your American bank checking account could even be a bank owned by a foreign investors.
