Economic stimulus

■ Read this part if you earn less than $75,000 a year

GREAT NEWS! The federal government is planning to send you a check for $300 to $1,800 — depending on whether you’re married and how many depen- dents you have. And with the stimulus bill still being negotiated, these amounts could rise and even extended to people who paid little or no taxes last year. The point of this largesse is to spur consumer spending, which translates to increased activity in nearly every sector of the economy. We would like to ask you to think carefully before deciding where to spend your windfall. The first rule is: Not at Costco. Or Wal-Mart, or any other huge national chain that will devote a little of your money to the wages it pays its local employees, and an even smaller share to the few (very few) local suppliers of chain store goods and services. The lion’s share will be immediately exported from our community to corporate headquarters, giant warehouses and mega- manufacturers (most of them overseas). Instead, we urge you to think locally and act locally when it comes to spending your gift from Uncle Sam. Take it to a local market, retail store or restaurant. To help create a sense of community, let them know what you’re doing and urge them to do the same.
