What else would you guys have spent you $2500 portion of the bailout on?
A donation to the homeless and the hopeless, especially those who have been devistated by tornados.
good point about the bailout - you're right, but I think the point is that the money lent to save the financial system could have been used in other places..though it would not have been paid back, unless the economy really saw a huge boost from it..hindsight is 20/20
A time machine to bring back Michael Jordan
i probably would have put a down payment for a new car..but the burj khalifa does sound great lmao
I would've started saving for college earlier..
I want a greenhouse! Over the weekend I was planting my first garden at the ex's. His mom is giving me help and tips since I'm new at it. I'd go for a greenhouse and heirloom seed. His neighbors have annoying free range chickens even though our lots are only a couple of acres. I'm trying to talk the ex into getting a couple of goats for shits and grins. We could fence the property but goats always get out and ....... His mom suggested peacocks but I'd rather eat goat. I got a butt load of plants for $20. I need a rototiller. Yep, I'd take that money and put it into growing my own food.
That's probably a good idea
there were so many things we could have bought..
great idea GypsyKing, how about a way to fix the broken political machine too? that might be more expensive
Man MJ has nothin on linsanity
it wasn't a "bailout" it was money loaned to banks...and has been mostly returned, at a profit
more to the point...what could you have done with your share of the stimulus.....which now stands at about 2.4 Trillion...(since it was added to the budget 'baseline' and appropriated/spent each year since 2009)
but, unless you donated to Obama, you don't get a cut........
