Government Rebate


Can't decide what to do with your $300, $600, $1,200 or more - depending upon your dependents - that the government is sending you this year? A lot of people are planning to buy new flat screens to simultaneously stimulate the economy and their American Idol-My Name Is Earl-Big Brother viewing. But I have another idea -- if you would all send me your government rebate checks, I will invest the money to offset fees for study abroad programs for our college students, cite each of you as a sponsor (tax deductible, of course), and provide an experience for our youth that will pay off dividends for them and our country in years to come. Not interested? Well, Costco has a huge sale on flat screen TV's to make room for their looming stockpile of rice.
