From the NY Times:
"House leaders and the White House on Thursday reached a tentative agreement on an economic stimulus package of roughly $150 billion that would pay stipends of $300 to $1,200 per family and provide tax incentives for businesses to encourage spending."
My family, with two children, would get $1,200. But how best to spend it?
Maybe I could snare this rare 1968 3-D Topps Jim Maloney
Of course then I'd have to buy my angry wife this $1,200 bouquet of orchids.
In honor of the president, how about this fine set of Texas state flag cufflinks.
Maybe cuddly puppies are a good investment, or perhaps one month in this spacious Brooklyn apartment.
Who am I kidding? I'll just blow it on diapers and booze.
Maybe you've got ideas?
