Daily Blog – Ross Jones – April 4, 2008: HOW TO SPEND THAT STIMULUS CHECK.

April 15th is fast approaching, which means “stimulus” checks from the Federal government will be arriving soon.

You know, those checks ranging from $600 up to $2,000 that we’re supposed to turn around and spend right away to help out the economy?

I had been planning on using the money to pay some bills and reduce debt, but was told that if I did that then the terrorists win. So I’m waiting to see what the A/V industry does to stimulate enthusiasm to spend those checks.

My good buddy who lives in Anchorage, like all Alaskan residents, gets a dividend check every year from the state, and the airlines are all over that stuff. They have special deals priced exactly in the amount of the dividend checks, so you just sign over the check and away you go. If the home theater industry expects me to stimulate them, I want to see some special, patriotic pricing from manufacturers and retailers; really great deals that just happen to be priced in $300 increments.
