and gave it to everyone over 18 that lived in the usa
each person would get 242k dollars.
Each person could afford to pay off most if not all their bills.
Do you not think that would help the economy?

ps the goverment also would get 30-50% back because the gov. would take you on the amount you got.

that would be socialism and therefore explicitly outlawed by our u.s. constitution. I think.

People wouldn't use it for debt that's the problem and the government would have no way of monitoring that. If fucking AIG is going to send its employees on a $500,000 retreat when its company is fucked up the ass, I wouldn't expect the average citizen to spend the money wisely.

Oh, Gee!!

just wipe out all forms of personal debt and start all over from scratch. that's what tyler durder would do. I probably just broke the 1st and 2nd rule by telling you what Tyler Durden would do. Oh, the irony.

Fuck! FUCK! :bang

:pctoss

God I hate some idiot coming in and posting this same fucking lie over and over. You ignorant slut.

There are 217.8 million people aged 18+ in the US according to the last census (src: http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/population/001703.html)

$700 billion = 700 * 10^9 dlls
217.8 million person_18+ = 217.8 * 10^6 person_18+

$700 billion / (217.8 million person_18+) = (700*10^9 dlls)/(217.8 * 10^6 person_18+)
= 700/217.8 * 10^3 dlls/person_18+
= 3.21396 * 10^3 dlls/person_18+
= $3213.96 per person who is at least 18

QE Mother-Fucking D
