stimulus package - what a crock

A little real world, grass roots level story regarding the finacial stimulus payouts that Labor and some esoteric economists reackon was a savior of our economy.

The characters change from week to week but the story is the essentially the same.

Picture this: My business, WA owned by my family - going 25 years. Times harder even than the Keating sabotage/recession. Customer comes in, wants to buy product we make in Australia. Says can't afford it and asks her mum to pay. Her mum, standing beside her says 'Why don't you use the money Mr Rudd gave you?'
Daughter replies 'Dah mum, like, I need that for Bali!?'

The same story with different characters repeats every week.
