If you give 300 million people 1 dollar each it will cost 300 million dollars (plus several dollars in processing costs for each check sent!).

The current total US National debt is around 10 trillion dollars. Divided by 300 million that means we each owe around $33,000 dollars to the national debt collection agency.

You are right again,

Actually we already have about 35k on each americans head owed to foreign nations. -

Okay how about 20,000 to each american

I appreciate your opinion, but I still disagree. That's what they tried to do with the Bush 'stimulus' thing.

Any amount of money- whether for the wealthy businessman or the crackhead on the street- people are going to do with it what they will- help THEMSELVES. Whether to buy another oak desk or another crack rock, most people won't use it to improve their quality of life and will be in the same situation as before a few months down the road.

It's a band-aid solution.

This is stupid! It has no point.... If you want to get rid of the system then quit talking about money... The original post is totally illogical and would NEVER happen... This is a waste of our time!

I agree 100% - that answer was for a previous post that was to say just what you said without saying it.

Ralok- is hitting on some key points.

I am sending abundance your way 371. It might not be in the form of cash though
