Not to state the obvious, but I heard this number on Air America today and it shocked me.

I know it is simple math, but reading it like this makes the number hit home!

1. Lets just take that
700 billion (and we know it will end up being more) and devide it up among the - Oh lets say - 301,139,947 (July 2007 est.) the US population.

My guess is the economy would do just fine.

At least until it comes to pass that the dollar isn't worth spit. And that is gonna happen no matter where the money goes.
