43% of your taxes pay for war
Now that your taxes have been filed, you are officially a sponsor of war. Forty-three cents out of every dollar you paid in 2007 goes for military spending (click to enlarge image):

they borrowed the money to hand out from China ... I think if you're going to purchase anything with this money, it should be an American made product.

I wish I could put some toward funding peace. Instead I have to put it on my credit card. There goes that boob job I was going to get....sigh.
send it to Amnesty International to make up for the horrible things our government does to the rest of the world.
this whole stimulus thing is a joke. they are just trying to buy votes!
Liberality, AI is a great idea, too.
I think what's important is that we don't all just say "Oh cool! Money!" and go out and buy crap that we don't need. And in fact, most people I know say they're planning to put it towards paying bills. So maybe $5, $10, or $20 could go toward funding peace. Any little bit really would help.
How much good would that 43% do if it was spent at home? How much less debt would there be if we weren't borrowing that lofty amount from China to fund a war that has done very little?
