Re: “Letter to the editor: To prevent drowning, stimulus money better spent on life vest than on tattoos” (March 30):
Tuesday’s letters to the editor included a response to a March 22 story that mentioned a young man who planned to use his stimulus money to buy a motorcycle and tattoos for the top of his feet. The letter writer (Rollanda Graumann) suggested that he would be better served by going “to Walmart and buy himself an adult-size life vest.”
While I would not choose to spend my stimulus money in the same way as Tim Adams, I would point out that his spending will keep the money local, and thus will stimulate our economy, instead of adding it to the billions in the Walton family’s pockets.
