Dave Barry On The Economic Stimulus Package

Some one sent this to me and attributed it to the humorist Dave Barry… sounded funny enough to be his!

Dave Barry on the Economic Stimulus Package:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?

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

Q. Where will the government get this money?

A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?

A. Only a smidgen.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?

A. The plan is that you will use the money to
purchase a high-definition TV set, thus
stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn’t that stimulating the economy of
China?

A. Shut up.
