Here is an interesting comment on the current recession in
USA:
Dr. Marc Faber concluded his monthly bulletin (June 2008) with
the Following:
'The federal government is sending each of us a $600 Rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to
China.
If we spend It on gasoline, it goes to the Arabs.
If we buy 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 Germany.
If we purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan and none of
it will help the American economy.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on
prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still
produced in the US !!!
