The U.S. Department of the Treasury recently donated $5 billion in cash foreign aid to several Carribbean island nations that were hard hit by deadly hurricanes both last year and this year. The U.S. Treasury Department made it clear that this humanitarian aid donation does not need to be repaid to the U.S. and those Carribbean governments can use the money for whatever they think was necessary. Conclusion: This type of government spending directly stimulates the U.S. GDP according to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory.

Thomas started work at a local warehouse, and completed all the required paperwork his employer asked him to provide. The employer asked for a photo copy of his Social Security card, a photocopy of his driver's license, and a copy of void check for his checking account so he could get direct deposit of his paychecks. Thomas owed his dentist $2,500 for dental work, and ignored the dentist's numerous demands for payment. The dentist eventually got a judgment against Thomas.
On Thomas's first payday, he sat down and wrote checks for his rent, his car payment, his insurance, and his credit cards. All the checks bounced, and Thomas then found out the dentist had garnished his bank account for the $2,500 judgment; he was wiped out. Thomas discovered that his new employer had shared his personnel file with the attorney for the dentist, because the lawyer had threatened to get a subpoena.
