The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that
money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China. If we spend it on gasoline it
will go to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India. If we
purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.
If we purchase coffee it will go to Colombia or Brazil. If we purchase a
good car it will go to Japan or Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will
go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.

The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes
and beer, since these are the only products still produced and 'made in the
USA'.

I've been doing my part, and I thank you for your help and support.

Regards,

Governor Eliot Spitzer
