The US recession

Here is an interesting comment on the current recession in USA:

Dr. Marc Faber concluded his monthly bulletin (June 2008) with the
following: ''The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it
on gasoline, it goes 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 a good car it will go to 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 in US.

I'm doing my part.
