I just checked and my magical $455.30 of free money is still there. I can't describe the feeling of elation when I saw it there the first time. It's so great that I take a pause right before I submit my password on my online banking to think if I really even want to know fearing it'll be gone. If I knew it could never be taken away, it'd be the best feeling ever. By the way, you'd absolutely would be doing the American thing by blowing all your money on dental floss, socks, and Ziploc bags. Sure it's not as exciting as a kick-ass 42 inch 1080 p flat screen television that is so much better than I'd ever think it was (and I definitely had high expectation). I bet the industries you mentioned are hurting as well and would welcome the boost. Do the right thing. Blow your money for America.
