Economics According to Gus
Don’t ask me who Gus is. He (she?) is the author of one of those e-mails sent to a long list of people and forwarded to me. Whatever, Gus is a brilliant economist.

As you may have heard the Bush Administration said each and every one of us will now get a nice rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, most the money will go to China. If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to Canada, Venezuela, and the Arabs. How would that help the American economy? We need to keep that money in America.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy beer or spend it on prostitution, since those are the only businesses still in the US that are plowing their money back into the US.
