All those displaced/replaced factory workers up here in Michigan will
now be able to take their $600 down to Wal-Mart and bolster "our"
economy. Oh, George, come on!!!

After a tumultuous week, Asian markets rallied Friday as investors took
heart from Wall Street's gains overnight and positive U.S. labour market

data.

Traders also welcomed details of a tax rebate for American consumers
announced as part of U.S. President George W. Bush's economic stimulus
plan.
The tax rebate will put $600 to $1,200 US in most tax filers' pockets.

"The markets are reacting to news that Bush and Congress have agreed to
accelerate tax rebates for U.S. consumers so they can go out and buy
more
exports from Asia," said Francis Lun, a general manager at Fulbright
Securities in Hong Kong.
