One-half percent, huh? Let's see, I just ran some calculations and found that with that amount of money I could... Buy a season ticket to the Twins. Buy 2/3 of a class room of Math books to empower the next generation to see through voodo economics.Buy 1/2 of a new computer for a school (Well, actually *I* could build a full system for a school but we're talkin' retail.) Get a month ahead on my mortage. Get a month ahead on my student loans. Donate a student loan payment to a Legal Aid Attorney who will help dozens of needy people in that month.Donate a couple of student loan payments to a teacher. Donate it to my favorite charity. Invest it for my retirement. Invest it for my child's college. - OR - I could give it to a bunch of millionaires so they can keep raking in MORE profits. Geee, I dunno, seems like a tough call.
