Alaska's Stimulus Check!

Stimulus Check


As you may have heard, the Administration said each of us would get a check to stimulate the economy.

If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.

If we spend it on gasoline, it will go to the Arabs.

If we purchase a computer, it will go to India.

If we purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.

If we purchase a good car, it will go to Japan.

If we purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America .

-AND-

The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at yard/moving sales, since those are the only businesses still in the U.S.

-NOW-

Come on out and have a shopping good time at our moving sale!!!!!


Rancho Gusgus

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (23rd, 24th, & 25th of May) 8am until 6pm each day.


........... ........... ..........

For once, someone is really forward thinking and applying the proper emphasis on the benefit to real Alaskans. But....


Now, you're going to take that money to Oregon and spend it on gas, consumer goods, computers, and bikes. That makes you the middleman and guess how we feel about the middleman .

Anything you purchased used in the AK goes to Alaska. A japanese car is only japanese the FIRST time it is sold- from then on, if it is in america- it is an american car.

Me and the whole fam damily will be headed out to willow the weekend of the 31rst gusgus- might have to stop by and peruse your stuff!
