When I get my check, what should I do with it?

Don't waste my time by telling me to give it to you. I think that it's important to think abotu how an idea like this works. I'm not particularly fond of the idea, but If I'm going to get a check, I think it's not too much to ask for me to find the best way to use it in the name of stimulating the economy.

Ideas?

I think you should give it away.Ten dollars a day to both Foxfyre and Okie for each day they go without being complete partisan scumbags and saying something that is either an outright lie or a subtle smear about Obama. I fully expect you not to have to pay a dime, but we can all hope.

Buy Guns & Ammo - not the publication.

Start paying any debts you may have incurred while in college.

Either that or find out why the Dept of Tobacco, alcohol & Firearms has so much fun.

Wow, that was a bit much. Upon further review, I take this back. it's just stupid. Sorry to you both for the blindside slam out of nowhere for no reason.

I want to thank President Bush and my grandchildren for the stimulus that the toys I bought at Good Vibrations have brought me and my lover.

Seriously though, all of these could serve me well, but my point is what could I do with the money that would actually stimulate the economy?

I see many have voted for me to just keep it and not spend. That may be good for me, but doesn't stagnating money hurt the economy?

Carry on.

Put 75% into an account that's going to earn you decent interest over 6 - 12 months. You'll have more to spend in the long run.

Use the balance to check out the place you're moving to (moved to?). Be a tourist in your new city.

Spend it locally at Mom & Pop business', locally owned restaurants and/or farmers markets. If you give it to Walmart, or any other big box, they will just give it to the Chinese or Indian government.

destroy it for the good of your nation, since the money to cover that check does not come from your tax dollars. most likely it comes from the communist chinese that the american government has borrowed from to run the country.

if you don't cash the check that is $600 dollars less bush has to borrow from them, and puts us $600 less in their pocket.

Honestly, the piddly amount (in relation to the actual problem) that people would actually put into the economy isn't going to stimulate anything.

Do with it what will best help you out.
