   In my case, not much, since the beer, beef, and pork I buy is all   
   grown and made here in New York.  Dunno where the furniture comes from   
   since I haven't bought any in a long time.  But I would think the   
   point would be obvious, the alleged idea that each line item of   
   government spending should benefit everyone equally is idiotic.
