  • The Federal Government makes me sick. What a welfare State we've become.......

  • I bought a checker board for my check and a chick and some chicken, Chuck

  • LIES! LIES! no one gives money away with out getting something back!

  • wait til you do your taxes and realize they are taking every penny of that check back

    *use turbo tax*

    as you put that check into the program it raises what you owe exactly by that stimulous check amount

    what you actually recieved was an interest free loan->yer gonna be payin it back

    enjoy

  • at 1:20 he probably buy a gun @1:36 she gonna get dick (milf) @2:30 he gonna buy doctor books @3:08 he gonna get porn @3:12 she gonna get ears reduction

  • Botox? WTF? Anyone who gets Botox injections is a fucking idiot. Botox freezes your face into a complete douchebag expression anyway.

    Don't do shit with your check but save it. Pay off bills at most.

  • @A86 She's a dumb bitch she doesn't know how to save......!

  • THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT SENDING A CHECK TO ANYONE. you should re-write the intro to this video to say:

    "tax payers are having some of their hard earned money returned."

    whenever you read an article that says, "the GOVERNMENT ......" replace the word GOVERNMENT with taxpayers.

    THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT that pays for anything. TAXPAYERS pay. READ THAT AGAIN.

    Government pays for the bailout? nope. taxpayers.

    Government pays for the wars? nope. taxpayers.

    government pays for welfare? nope.

  • It takes a special type of arrogance for the political left to turn their nose up at their OWN MONEY.

    It's YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY people!!!!

  • Actually, it is almost impossible for it NOT to help the economy.

    If all you did was put your stimulus check in the bank and never did anyhing with it, it would still help the bank! The bank would then have just that much more lending power, which would provide the consumer with more opportunities to get loans for homes or cars or whatever.

    I think the only way the stimulus would be of no effect is if you cashed your stimulus check and buried it in a coffee can in your backyard.

  • "Do we save the economy or do we save ourselves?"

    Do you realize that saving yourself IS saving the economy?

    This guy is trying to make the argument that the stimulus check that the gov issued (and may issue again) will not end up being spent like the gov intended them to be. Rather, they will be used to pay off debt or just be saved.

  • Where Did Your Stimulus Rebate Check Go?

    9.0% Put it in Savings

    1.0% Invested it

    17.7% Paid off some bills

    1.0% Kids college fund

    12.4% Spent it on stuff

    2.0% Not sure

    56.5%! Didn't get one!

  • These stimulus checks only stimulates the oil companies and Saudi Arabia! Thanks President Bush, for robbing us blind! Bush gives us a tax break, and the Saudis & Bush saw an opportunity. Lets take America's hard earn tax money, and brainwash them in giving them a tax break, but at the same time raise oil prices! Who benefit from these tax breaks? President Bush and Saudis Arabia! While the US economy suffers from inflation and recession!

  • you're a moron.

  • Use my current savings to buy the ticket, and spend the $600.00 in some other country. GOV wants me to do something for them. Bush has not done one thing for me in the last 7 and a half years.

  • I thought the jews said we were going to get 1200 dollars?

  • Jews make money with their intelligence, Muslim countries have it easy, they have oil!

  • Good beer and a fine cigar and my $300 with be invested back in America

  • To bad any 18-24 dependent college student who is filed on parents tax so you can attempt to get financial aid is screwed. We get nothing. Angers me so much as I work 40 hrs a week just to try to get enough money to attend college and still taking out loans. Such a bad loophole

  • strippers

  • jeff is a flaming rope smoker.

  • going to anthrocon 2008 and possibly buying a fursuit woot =)

  • i would spend it in beers , be happy for awhile

  • buy some first aid cream for my ass. B/Cause guess what if you owe " past taxes" according to treasury(treason) dept. they will not only "intercept" you econ. stimulus ck. they will hound you forever. beware of darkness To "the system" >> FcK u

  • Use the money to pay your debt, invest your money wisely next time.

  • You know what pisses me off? I make over 3,000 dollars of earned income, I filed a tax 2007 tax return. But Where the hell is my check? Apparently I don't get a check because I am over 17 and my parents claim me as a dependent. WTF so a child gets $300, but I get nothing?

  • What exactly are we stimulating, the oil industry?

  • I am personally embarrassed by the plans of some of the people in this video. Botox? Gambling? Who are these people?

    If you do plan to actually spend your "stimulus" check, please spend it at your local mom and pop establishments. If we don't do something to save them from extinction, all we'll have left is Walmart; and if you've been paying any attention at all, it's the Walmarts and the other BIG BOX corporations who have single handedly dismantled the financial infrastructure of the U.S.

  • srf1745,21052008. I filled out my form for the stimulus,payment however it never arrived

    so it should have payed for the administrational,fee zero,sum. I swear

    fraud is not worth it crime does not pay.

    clie,irinaSaint.,hannahHM,mylo­1747dgz

  • I was going to go to Walmart and buy a bunch of cheap plastic crap from China with my 600 buck stimulus package ,but instead I decided to go to China with my package and stimulate some Chinese myself.

  • I plan to use my Government Stimulus check to do something the Government isn't doing.

    Find Osama bin Ladin.

  • it's Osama bin Aladin you asshole!

  • fuk the government stimulus check... if you people only knew how you the american worker/consumer was getting totally screwed by our federal reserve and policies you'd take that money and buy guns for the next revolution in this country..

  • I'm paying for gas increases

  • Anyone who works in this country and filed their 2007 tax return will get a stimulus check.(300.00 - 600 for singles) I myself did not go to college,(I work full time) yet I am getting a refund check. Goes to show you college is not everything, and does not gaurantee you shit. LOL I think college is a waste of time, and money. Im spending mine on high class hookers, and beer. Im a single male, what else did you expect?? LOL

  • What am I going to do with my stimulus check? Well first imma pay off my credit card because I used it to pay off some debt with my university. Then the rest is gonna go to the new car fund. Oh wait I forgot I dont get anything because Imma fucking student under the age of 24. Thank You Bush. Meanwhile my friend who dropped outta high school is getting a stimulus check. Wow. If thats not America for ya. Maybe financial aid was right I should just quit my job. Oh or I could just have a kid.

  • I'm buying an HDtV

  • The way I see it if you're paying off debt you're actually spending it. And you're probably paying interests on that debt so you're spending even more than you would have spent if you paid for the object you bought immediately. I don't see why paying off debt is being talked about in the same breath as saving it.

  • Forget the ferrari, I think I will go ahead and INVEST in a business I ve been wanting to start for a while, but never really had the cash to do so!

  • i think i will fill up my gas tank twice

  • well I had my taxes done through turbo tax and I'm suppose to get sometime this week and I haven't received it yet.

  • im gonna buy a ferrari with my check

  • lol thats a good one

  • My stimulus check will be used to buy Jeff Horwich a new shirt. Green is so not him.

  • im going to the bar and just pound it with everyone.

    search for boom: the pound sensation

  • Im gonna use mine on hookers and drugs.

  • I plan to deposit my stimulus check in the bank and pay taxes with it.

  • the rich don't serve! god bless the empire bafkachan

  • It's funny how the fundamentalists want to argue about the first part and say nothing about the rest. So it's ok then that there are some serious questions to be asked about 9/11 and that we are slaves to the world banking cartels then? Blinded by the light?

    Peace

  • yeah its too bad its all bullshit. If you owe people money... they get your check. If your a college student and your parents still claim you. You don't get it. Basically you dont get it.

  • The Romans called it "Bread and Circuses", in troubled times the emperor would pass out free bread and open up the coliseums to the people to entertain them. Well heres your bitter bread humans, eat it, watch dancing with the stars and american idol etc, etc, till your brains fall out.. your masters have you right where they want you...

  • "Do we save the economy, or do we save ourselves?" There are so many things that make that ridiculous a thing to say...

  • actually the word is spelled Dumb,thumb is one of your fingers .And you must be pretty dumb if you can't tell when someone is saying something as a goof.

  • the people of st.paul should buy themselves some warm clothing so they don't freeze there asses off as much.

  • I think it's the normal thing to do if your economy is low atm, think we did that here in sweden when we had economical problems back in the days, it doesn't have to cost more, let people work their 600bucks together, moral stimulation as well getting work.

  • Well, you're half-right, Andre. It's true that government and business are intertwined, but it's false that the blame lies with the latter. Rather, the governmental construct lends itself to corruption -- requires it, even, of businesses. Corporations without active lobbyists will fail; consider that a single act of congress can potentially destroy an entire company, or even an entire industry, and you'll understand the reason for corporate lobbyists.

  • people remember corporate american have already hijacked our congress. There are over 900 lobbyist for each elected official. If these people stash $1000 per year in a swiss account that almost $1,000,000 per year, lets make it against the law for them to work for these companies for 20 yrs or go to jail for 20 yrs. They vote to see the tax payer out then go sit on the corporate boards earning six figure incomes. I know you rather hear crap Rev Wright, Britney, Paris or OJ damit wake da fugg up

  • Why does the internet suck ?

    Search "Glamour on MySpace" to see why

  • Don't forget, the debtor is most culpable. It's not like Visa or China forces us to borrow. When you want things you can't afford like flat screen TVs, vacations, lower tax revenues, and flashy foreign wars; there's a price to pay.

  • Mine is going back into the bank...and will be used to buy gas and groceries. I drive a little car and am spending $100 a month in gas now. The idea that this gets anyone ahead or is any kind of gift to stimulate anything is just stupid.

  • me too buy gas and extra groceries, and maybe even a ps3

  • I'd buy a guitar! YOUTUBE CMON! I want my voice to be featured!People please search for me...Cory Brubaker and listen to my song Breakfast for Two. Geez. lol.

  • Dangle a carrot in front of us and they have us right where they want us. Lower our freaking taxes and they won't have to give us back our money. Theiving Bastards!

  • What's up with this "are you going to support the government and spend it" shit???

    When you spend your money, you're NOT supporting the U.S. government, you're supporting corporate America (aka the U.S.'s sad soul), who really have no loyalty to the U.S. Only profits, wherever it leads them.

    The translation for the stimulus check is "support the fat cats who, as much as we like to forget it, rule the U.S. and the rest of the capitalist world".

  • Mine is already gone. :(

  • that sucks i dont know where to spend mine theres like 50 differnt places to where I can use it. NO!!!!!!

  • American are all fools, we let the media show people on welfare but this government never tells you that we spend 10 time more on corporate welfare than on social welfare for our own people, remember katrina what did this government do for the black,white, and hispanic Americans of Louisanna? They us the media as a form of mind control, or Psychological warfar. The government use of race baiting is a old tactic, sort of like how Hitler and Nazi's fooled their dumb ass people into war...

  • Us dumb ass people were fooled into war too...

    You're totally right.

  • All these people that say they are gonna save it are full of shit.. no one wanted to come on camera and say they were gonna blow it on the Track, minus that one old dude.

    I think the whole thing was to get people to file taxes who havent been filing. They'll bate the hook with a couple hundred bucks, then when you file .. Bang, they gotcha.

  • They seriously should have sent out Visa Gift Cards instead then you couldn't save it.

  • first of all i will not donate any of my money to any charity. 2 we need to stop helping africa and all other countries and concentrate on HELPING OUR DAMN SELVES. 3. we need to stop spending so much money on this damn war and bring out troops home. the government needs to pretend that we are still at war and send us another damn stimulus check. $900 cant pay half my mortgage. and last but not least imma go get a hooker on your DIME.

  • Something wrong with caring and helping others who don't have the same chances as everyone else?

  • yea i totally agree, we have to stop policng the world and start focusing in our country, its all effed up.

  • im from uk

    someone send me theres

    lol

  • Thats pretty funny.

  • Its my money anyway so im going to save!! although charity donation to me, is the most resonable way to spend the money.

    --

    Sent from my Helio Ocean

  • ...and this money will be deducted from next years tax refund??

  • i will probably spend it on a mophead so i can drive around and not say "o i might as well of burned a 20 dollar bill" also the ever friendly thing everyone gets with extra cash BOOSE!

  • Elan's of Connecticut. Michelle's gonna make some dough....

  • get a motorcycle so i can afford gas

  • Rum guns and amo!

  • The best thing to do is save, invest, or pay off debt with the money. DON'T go out and blow it; that is what the govt wants, and is also the dumbest thing you could do.

  • I'm just glad to see it again. I worked damn hard to get it the first time. Bugs the hell out of me that a bunch of public sector servants and no load public corporations blew the rest on crap I don't need.

  • buy weed with it. all of it.

  • If the government gives us money, and we just buy something doesn't that just give it right back to the government via taxes? What's the point of that?

  • Maybe you could buy a functioning brain with yours.

  • only like 8-10% of it will the rest keeps on spreading

  • thank you mr bush! but if them liberal democrats get their way they will tax it right back out of us! bunch of thieves!

  • They should've just gave us a gift card if they wanted it to be spent on retail.

  • That one guy looks like he's going to buy some crack

  • guns and ammo

  • I recommend investing in the stock market, should be a great month or two for the market- BUY- BUY!

  • veiw number 433,600 at 5:10

  • The government is giving you back your OWN money whats the hell is so wrong with that! Why do liberals not like that? Oh ya they love socialism and its evil to have money and property.... FUCK LIBERALS THEY SUCK!

  • I'm a liberal and I don't have a problem with people getting economic stimulus checks WHAT NOW THEORY DESTROYED

  • 1337 comment!

  • I'll take it if you don't want it

  • drugs..and gas

  • thats what i did lol

  • Buying a plane ticket to Canada, youll find me there the rest of my life.

  • Thats the ticket!

  • We had Alberta Prosperity Cheques here and they weren't bad but most people would rather see more services or tax cuts. Also we got the cheques because our province has no debt and is doing very well not because we are in a recession. We got out of debt by cutting back government spending and services. Everyone took a lose from it but now we are better off because of it. If Albertans can do it I would think Americans can become debt free as well.

  • Saving most of it. And buying guns and ammo with the rest.

  • The FED can create (funny)money out thin air but it cant create wealth.

    Very soon a post stamp will be worth more then $300.

    HAHAHAHAAAAAAaaaaaaa

  • "Saving Your Money? Your Disappointing The Government...." Um, The Government Has Been A Big Disappointment To Our Country Over The Past 8 Years

  • every government from every country has disappointed the people....they don't want the best for the people, well in most cases

  • Why not just teach how to make money in public/private schools so that when the next generation comes along they will be able build wealth and not lose it easily? Like the saying: why give a man food when you just teach them how to make food so he doesn't have to be dependent.

  • If it was that easy it would have been done already. In order for the next generation to have good money management they need to see it from us first. So its like asking: "Why don't we not just have good money management?" GOOD QESTION, MY MAN!!! Good Luck. = )

  • all the fucking money this greedy government makes, and all they can send is 300-600 hundred???!!! i need to pay for rent , not go by a stupid pair of jeans!! fucking bush and his oil wells , if they really want the economy to rebound- LOWER THE FUCKING GAS PRICES YOU GREEDY BASTARDS!! IT SHOULD ONLY BE 120 A GALLON!!!! KILL ALL OIL CEO'S AND WALL STREET CROOKS! IMPRISION BUSH

  • weve got the same problem here in the UK

    the thing is Oil is running out so its gonna be expensive. but yeah in some cases all govt are responsible for wasting money.

  • wow they didnt interview the trendy americans.. they where interview the educated ppl.

  • I'm going to make it rain at the strip club

  • any payment to a private company is stimulating the economy ESPECIALLY the Mortgage companies and whos fault is it anyways the retard who didnt read their papers when buying a house and couldnt afford the payments but were still stupid and bought the house just so it ould be forclosed on.

  • So paying a bill is not stimulating the ecomony??? Let me get this right If you are paying ANYTHING than you are stimulating the economy these people are retarded like giving money to Verizon or Comcast or Waste Management or your mortgage company or any bill is not stimulating the economy? IT IS!!

  • you're not stimulating the economy if you're paying off debt retard

  • Yes you are, that money ends up giving your creditors money to spend on equipment upgrades, raises, more dividends for their stockholders, ect., ect. When you pay bills, the money does not disappear into a toilet never to be seen again. What kind of commie crap are people being taught nowadays, anyway, what kind of zero sum game marxist shit are people being lied to about?

  • BUY GOLD!!!!

  • Well, I am buying GTA4 and a Playstation 3 with my economic stimulus package :) Thank you US Government.

  • Hookers and Booze baby!!!!

  • ...isn't this just going to cause inflation if it does anything?

  • Lulz the black guy wanted a car for 600 dollars

  • people are unrealistic. $300 isn't much of a savings in the first place. if you pay down debt that means you'll probably spend the same later just on your credit...if you claim to save it, you'll soon be spending it because it's not much anyways. i think the government should have given more back. i spent mine paying bills already.

  • why not ten thousend a person? ? ?

    Or one million?????

    idiot

  • well if the gov. gave back like $1000, people would be more comfortable spending more instead of trying to save it

  • Paying down debt helps make you free from modern day slavery. Paying down debt (if you have it) is one of the most useful things you can do. Over time that $300 will cost you plenty more if you don't pay it off. With the interest off your back, you'll have more to spend on goods and services and improve the economy that way. But you would have to continue working on your debt, the money would just have to be a start.

  • Nicely done vid.

  • There is no such thing as free money you dumb idiots.

    No wonder the US is hitting rock bottem these days

  • I can't help but notice in the video, none of them said "free money." They called it a "stimulus", which is what the government called it. And most were skeptical of its effects. Fortunately, most seemed dedicated to paying debts or bills, which is good.

  • Get the fuck out of the greengag!!!!!!!

    Rising prices of products and services is the result of inflation.

    Inflation = increasing the moneysuppley

  • I smell HYPERINFLATION.

    A smart american should purchase GOLD or SILVER to protect the purchasing power of her/his savings.

    OOPS, i forgot.... the US has a negative savings rate.

    U.S. Petrodollar

  • You guys are in desperate need of a laugh track, or if comedy isn't your goal, background music during each interview. It's a brick in free fall; awkward and anxiety producing.

  • my husband and i are getting 1200 dollars.. thats what a tank of gas and a nice dinner out... i love how bush is saying thats will offset morgage problems lol... we are donating half to a local charity for children and the other half spending greedily!!

  • this will put money in your pocket

  • This is only stalling the USA fall of the economy and the USA collapse that is happening. Protect yourself people from the Stock Market crash. Check out my profile and click on 2008 Stock Market Crash and educate yourself and prepare for the upcoming difficult times. Thank you

  • so cool , I will upload this to tall dating site____Tallmingle.c om___which is a hot dating site for all tall admirers ,tall man and tall woman.

  • what the...

  • It's not welfare or redistribution of wealth. It's borrowed against future taxes paid by us. It's a cheap move from a lame duck president pandering to the country for his own legacy. The next president will be the one to have to find room in the budget to pay for it. to yellowventura55: if you feel that way about it, does that mean you'll be sending your check back in to be given back to the "wealthy"?

  • Im getting $1,000,000,000

  • I'm getting $750! thank you bush!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank Bush for the $750 welfare check?All the stimulus rebate check is a redistrbution of wealth

  • IM GETTING 1800 YEAH BYTCH

  • A redistribution of wealth?

    The federal government took the money from you and is now giving it back, more like an interest free loan to the government.

  • botox kurwa mać

  • I have a secret way to spend it.

  • All of our tax dollars go to pay interest on the $9,000,000,000,000 national debt.

    Our tax system is so screwed up, we have no say, no just representation, just a bunch of talking heads that are bought and payed for.

  • I want 600 dollars for nothing. Oh... I don't get one because I went to college and have a good job.

  • I go to college and I have good job, and I'm getting one...guess I lucked out.

  • I want my 600 dollar check all in ones please.

  • rofffffll

  • Yeah, and IM sure the govt. is distributing the hard drugs back into are inner citys as well too.

  • the idea of conomy stimulating cheques is the worst possible economic idea ever thought and applied in the history of mankind

  • I know what I'm going to do with mine.. Want a hint?

    Okaaayyy.. It begins with strippers and cocaine and ends with me face down in my own vomit.. Can you guess??

    THAT'S RIGHT!

    I'M GOING TO GO TO MY CHANNEL AND WATCH MY MOVIES!!!!

    SaaaWEEEET!

  • i know what i'll do with "mine" lol

  • They no longer show friends. I believe its seinfeld. LOL

  • Please go away Clintons. LOL

  • God I wish the clintons would leave!! Hillary is behind in everything super delegate, poplular vote etc. etc. and she still wants to stay in the race. Would she please give it up!!

  • I'm going to buy some high class hookers, and a good ol bottle of Crown Royalee!! I prob will not be able to walk the next day.. LMAO Thats how I will boost our economy.

  • do me a favor people, just dont spend it at wal-mart. spend it on an american made product, or we will get know where!!!!!!!!!

  • How can you not be able to finish High School?? Thats some easy elementary shit. I finished and I fell asleep most of the time.

  • Im white, and I voted for our next president Barack Obama!! And look what wealthy people spend their money on. Starbucks, $5.00 for a cup of coffee. What idots. And botox?? What a waste.

  • Hey guys i am in a band called the fingerlickers. We recently posted a video called look what you've done by jet and while we know we are not the best, we would deeply appreciate some CONSTRUCTIVE critism. If you could just check it out by clicking on my name and comment and rate to help us become a better band (We are only 15) then we would be very appreicative. I am sorry i have to tell you this way but we need the critism. Thanks

    So just click on my name fingerlickers and check it out.Mikeeb

  • The government wants you to buy a microphone from this millennium.

  • IM spending my tax rebate check on some nice silky female booty!!!!!!!!!! That is true on most african americans. I used to live in the inner city and some of them including mexicans spend all their money on their cars like gold rims, speakers, etc. etc., yet had NO car insurance. Now isnt that an oxy moron?? And in all honesty most people no matter what color will spend their tax rebate check. STOP living in the 1960s people. Race is no longer an issue.

  • I wish race was no longer an issue, but when ignorant people make it an issue, then I guess it is one. A third of all people I've known that did not graduate high school, regardless of race, use racial slurs and think that their race is better than others. Now while I do not say that education is a cure-all, it does do quite a bit in correcting the problem.

  • the gov could save the money spent on processing the handout by simply knocking $300 off the next round of taxes, further helping the economy.

    I bet it'd be more likely to get to everybody also.

  • Every one will save , except black people . Who will buy a bitchin car to pimp their hoes, or whatever black people do these days.

  • yee-haw smithg. em nigurs guna buy em rims an hoes an crak rok 2 an em 40s. an than they stil be on that welfur dat i pay fer whin i wurk. i gotd fird from a job tho fer snortn crank in the brakeroom. i liks me that crank, whin i git my chek my wif (also my sistur) an me guna go git sum ruburs an' coors lite an' crank an' we guna hav a gud tim.

  • Dont be silly you cant afford crack if your collecting welfare. And im english so that makes me an elites torie and not a crazy red neck.

  • 600 dollar car? what a dumbass...botox? that wont help her ass either.....pounding that ass might tho !!!!!! hahaha!

  • I know the message here is to convince us that the government is making a mistake by giving us back OUR money. You should also ask these people "would YOU rather have this money or should the government just keep it." I bet 99% (excluding the elitist democrat lady at the end of the video) will say I WANT MY MONEY.

  • Anyone with any brains will do the

    opposite of what the vile, scumbag

    Bush administraion wants us to do!

    save it!

  • i was hoping they'd ask one guy and he'd be like "big bag o weed,"

    "and some pizza,"

  • Maybe can set $ aside for 3 weeks of gas..hmm or maybe not? Dependin on gas prices and size car..n how far U go...hmm easily spent..It isn't that much..
