May. 9th, 2008 11:27 amThese are the questions which haunt me.
Actually this doesn't haunt me, because I've been in fandom for fifteen years, and nothing can haunt me like the questions fandom makes me ask (seriously, they turn into penguins, oh my god). Still, these questions bug me, and I'm lazy when the research doesn't involve masks, apotropaic genitalia, or cooking.
See, my economic stimulus check just arrived with my tax refund. It's very pretty, sitting there in my bank account, and I'd like to take it out and show it a good time.
1. Is this whole "refund" thing actually sound economics? Does it in fact stimulate the economy? I mean, I'm cool, whatever, I'm not going to say no to three hundred dollars, but I'd like to know. Because:
2. If it does, what is the best thing I could do with this money to provide said stimulation? Because if I had my way I'd save it or put it towards my student loans, but the economy is pretty fucked up and I do need clothes and groceries and in the long term if I can help, I should. I wish to stimulate the economy! Is there some kind of economic vibrator I should purchase?
