Title: Bush Bucks
Post by: gatorback on June 08, 2008, 01:23:06 PM
So I got my eco. stimulis aka  Bush  Bucks.  I've not spent them all (Yet), but I did pay bills and purchased a DVD player new $50.00.  Right now my question is, are bush bucks making a difference in the US economy?

That was probably one of the most moronic videos I have ever been unfortunate enough to click on.

I used them to make improvements to an apartment building in Riverside thereby making available market rate housing for Americans.   :)

apparently spending is up this month because of the bush bucks.  Do you think this will make a difference in the long run?

UMM... Well, lemme see here;

You make $250.00/hour, by previous admission.

30 hours per week billable time, thats $7500.00 per week. (balance of time spent on 3 martini lunches).

Times 40 weeks of work per year, (because the balance of 12 weeks is spent golfing and vacationing on your private island).

So, that's $7500.00 X 40 = $300,000.00

Now, figuring all of your tax loopholes that any self respecting lawyer would avail himself of, that leaves you with an AGI of $185,000.00.

So, since the economic stimulus "package" phases out at $165,000.00, thus leaving you with no "package", there are only three possibilities:

1. Not too many people wish to engage your services, which reduces your billable hours , thus making your income lower than anticipated, thus yielding the "stimulus package" prize.

2. The actual rate that people will really pay you is far lower than the previously advertised $250.00 per hour,  thus yielding the "stimulus package" prize.

3. You work at the shoeshine stand in the lobby of the courthouse , thus yielding the "stimulus package" prize.


I think that you should buy this phat stretch Hummer with your "stimulus package" for you and your posse and your baby momma.

I probably would not. What for me is arcane financial hijinks is for you quotidian duplicity.

all the ladies in the house wanna be my spouse with my stimulus package.

you won't believe your eyes, when you see the size of my stimulus package.

aaaaahhhhh yeah girl.  i got a direct deposit for you if you know what i'm talkin about.  and i think that you do.

i bought myself a battleship just to go fishing and put a stripper pole up in my kitchen.

just file my $hit so i can hurry up and get my stimulus package.

i'll buy myself a caddy and it will be humongous and maybe get a doctor to finally look at this fungus.

i was living off of toast now i'm just gonna coast on my...stimulus package.

"i'm so...stimulated."

lol.  How did my thread so sweet and innocent ever become the target of you two?  I was just asking what you were going to spend your bush bucks on not incouraging some battle between the two maga brains.  Sic.

I will give both of you this.  Neither one of you have used the words "Retarded" and "dork" so thanks?

You guys can have all the "watermelon" you want.  I want this puppy, not the superstructure itself, but all the black gold that is ever transported inside this the world's largest supertanker.

That tanker is named after me.

It used to be the Conde Rice before 2000, but they painted over it cause they thought it might look bad.
