About $60 billion (£30.5 billion) is expected to pour into shopping malls in June and July as Americans rush to spend the tax rebates handed to them by Washington, which are intended to kick-start the economy. Economists expect much of the rebate money to be spent on household goods and electrical items — and that means television sets and iPods.

correction: much of the rebate money to be spent on household goods and electrical items — and that means television sets toilet paper and iPods.

I'm not a fan of Donald Trump's by any means, but he got this one right on: "Trump is also critical of the Bush tax rebates to spur the economy. He believes many Americans will simply buy some consumer product manufactured in China and only send more U.S. dollars overseas rather than really invest in America."

no shit, Sherlock.  let's not forget the iPods are made in China.
