Marc Faber comments on US

Marc Faber concluded his monthly bulletin (June 2008) with the

following:

" 'The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If

wespend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it on

gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India.

If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and

Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany. If we purchase

useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American

economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on

prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in

US. I've been doing my part."
