    a $100 certificate they could use to purchase a new Bluetooth speaker or couple Keurig coffee makers,” said Pew pollster Dana Felder, who

    I do not for one minute believe that $100 is buying a couple of Keurig coffee makers, unless those guys are going ridiculously hard on the razor-and-blades model.

    checks Amazon

    Yeah. The least-expensive Keurig coffee maker on Amazon is $60:

    It looks like they go up to $126.

    Maybe a couple of Mr. Coffee coffeemakers.

    My ex and I scored 5 at the thrift for $5 each. I'll never understand paying retail, and especially for coffee makers. I did pay "full" price for my Amazon French press. Whatever.

          I mean, $100 bucks at Best Buy is like $35 at actual market prices. I'd need at least a $200 gift card.

                          It's not, these are the promises, like cheap eggs, affordable groceries and $1.98/gallon gasoline.

                              Strange closing paragraph.

                              the highest they’d been since 1996 when 80% of Americans stated that they would live under an Islamic theocracy in exchange for a $50 gift card to Radio Shack.

                                    If 5 million USD can buy you a US citizenship, why can’t I sell mine for 5 million USD? I will gladly do so, and I bet I won’t be the only one.
