Stimulus Payment Information. "This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment." This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format: Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment? A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers. Q. Where will the government get this money? A. From taxpayers. Q. So the government is giving me back my own money? A. Only a smidgin. Q. What is the purpose of this payment? A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set or some such thing, thus stimulating the economy. Q. But isn’t that stimulating the economy of China ? A. Shut up. Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the Australian economy by spending your stimulus cheque wisely: If you spend that money at Kmart, all the money will go to China . If you spend it on petrol it will go to the Arabs. If you purchase a computer it will go to India . If you buy a car it will go to Japan . If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan . And none of it will help the Australian economy. We need to keep that money here in Australia. You can keep the money in Australia by spending it at garage sales, going to a cricket match or footy game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses that may still be owned by Aussies. Thank you all Australians, Your mate, K.RUDD.

Not only did I get my stimulus package but between paul and I we got 3. I spent some on a trip to Tassie, and Paul had his tooth fixed and we probably will be paying for our car to be fixed too as it had its brake line sever on friday so its in the shop now. But besides that, I bought 2 big brother ponies and their gear and loads of dolly mix (I now have 2 full sets, one will be a prize in the ponyfest raffle) I can't quite remember if there was anything else because I got mine so long ago but there must have been. I did buy a bunch of ponies at a market in Tassie though

No Stimulus payment for redd. Probably a good thing, I could cause some serious damage with all that extra money
