i think that most american consumers will actually spend the money, just look at how most american consumers use their tax returns.

"oh what are you doing with your tax return?"
"going on vacation"
:tsk:
"putting it toward a car"

"sweet new plasma TV!!!"

whether or not buying something made in another country has any affect on the US economy is debatable but anytime there are dollars getting pumped into the US economy, it is going to benefit the US, at least in the short run.
