The Government should give every US Citizen 1 million Dollars

Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 11:16 PM by Heather MC

the would be cheaper than bailing out all the banking industry for 700 billion

1 World 6,706,993,152 July 2008 est.
2 China 1,330,044,544 July 2008 est.

4 European Union 491,018,683 July 2008 est.

Just a thought

1. You may be confused as to the number of Millions in a Billion

Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 11:07 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter

I think $700 billion is 700,000 millions, so that wouldn't go very far.

I think you could give everybody about $2400

5. either way it would still be cheaper, after all it's our money and they are not very good with it

Might as well give it back.
I know it will never happen but it's fun to make believe
everynow and then

6. The US should pay off every home mortgage under $200,000.

I'm not serious, but it make more sense than pumping billions into big companies that have proven they can't manage investments or money.

8. 303 million times 1 million = 3.03 � 10^14

That's a hell of a lot more than I think all money circulated currently, not to mention the World Budget, in Dollars.
