You have been bad.
Selfishly saving your money right when your economy needs it the most.
As a consumer you have been a huge disappointment to us all.
If you care anything about this country, get up right now, go to your nearest retail outlet, and buy until your cards will swipe no more.
After all, it is not your assets propping up the GNP.
Only ours.

Sincerely,

Bet that big flag has a “Made in Asia” tag on it somewhere.
Hey! Gimme a break, I bought one of those stupid fans. Wasn’t that supposed to help?
C.I.A. you really need to get off my back.
Does this mean that if I’ve been unselfishly spending my dough and swiped my cards until they’ve withered and cracked that I’ve been a good citizen? I always try to do my part.
Hahaha, the Australain dollars is almost even with yours, soon our tourists will be flooding your retail outlets buying… STUFF… wait thats what you want isnt it.
Recent expenditures on a Mac Pro, 30″ cinematic widescreen, ipod, accompanying software to the iTunes of 40 movies… did my part to stimulate China’s economy.
I will gladly toss my American brethren a shiny penny if that will help.
No, there’s no need to thank me.
“If you care anything about this country, get up right now, go to your nearest retail outlet, and buy until your cards will swipe no more.”
Wow. You hit it right on. Do you think the majority of Americans really understand this?
Here’s a great short video that explains it better:

Ahh. It is so refreshing to hear how bad you have it compared to us Brits. You don’t see our banks having problems because of the US Sub-Prime issues over there. Nor are our petrol prices rising at a stupid rate.
Now. Read that again, and replace the first 40 words with “Ah Crap. We are as screwed as you are”.
Rickey has also ruminated on the current market woes in the U.S. Rickeys thoughts can be found hither:

America’s debt-laden foreign backed economy reminds me of a Rubik’s cube, with each colored tile face representing an economic force. Y’know that guy that solved the Rubik’s cube with his feet in like 10.88 seconds, let’s get him to fix our economy.
I took your advice and I’ve been swiping all over town. Nobody’s caught me yet though. I swiped a really nice car from this dealer yesterday. You’re right, I feel so much better swiping all this stuff.
i agree. wrote about the same thing a few months ago….http://rawdawgb.blogspot.com/2008/01/poor-mr-or-mrs-next-president.html
Haha I bet that flag says made in China too. Irony.
Hey, I have been swiping! And I plan to keep doing it until I get my $300! Then I will swipe some more. Must do my part for the economy. :)
