I have recently made a hobby out of asking what the most patriotic things we can do with this money would be, without getting any answers.

I, too, have a few friends who just want the money and don't care what it ultimately costs.

When it came time to vote on our contracts, the ONLY thing many members cared about was the $300 signing bonus; people can be bought very cheaply.

Even on these boards, I've asked where to put this money to do the most good for our country. I can't see how buying something made in China helps us. I can't see how putting it in the bank helps our country.

Should we just do a lot of eating out?

The most patriotic thing you can do with your tax rebate is to send it to the DNC.
