Marc Faber argues that the $600 government rebate will not help the US economy because if spent on common items, the money will go to other countries rather than being kept in the US. The only way to keep the money domestic is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, which are among the few products still made in America. Faber was born in Switzerland and holds a PhD in economics, residing in Thailand and publishing the Gloom Boom Doom newsletter.
