if you're gonna do math.....you have to show your work.
If you made a dollar a second, you would make $3600 per hour. Annually, that would be about 7.5 million dollars. 819 billion is equivalent to paying 109,200 people this amount. Let's say every player in the NBA made 7.5 million a year -- you could afford to pay the NBA players for 253 years.
If you were to count to 819 billion, it would take you 25,953 years or 259 centuries.
The bill for the economic stimulus plan has 647 pages, so that's 1.27 billion dollars per page.
Hope it works.

Let's say the government is coming up with an $819 B stimulus package and let's say my wife and I make less than $150,000 combined. That means $1000 will be deposited into my bank account in the next few weeks.
Really makes you think.
That's weird because I make less than you and your wife combined (we are a single-income family) and I have to pay.
Gee, that's fair.
What will you do with that $1000?
Who's going to pay this money?
You don't file jointly?
I haven't really decided yet. I'm thinking of heading over to Circuit City and see if they have any nice TVs left for the bedroom.
Yes, but my wife is a stay-at-home mom.
he's saying that he makes more than 75k (and his wife doesn't work) but because your wife works, you'll get a check.
Will you give me a free lunch?
I'm sure RandomGuy can confirm.
Doubtful -- everyone else has the Samsung 32" under $500 though.
i got a little kid in school......habit......"show your work".
I bought that one for my Mom. It's a lot smaller than you think.
There's a 32" Toshiba that's very cheap right now too.
So she doesn't pay any taxes.
Google is a wonderful thing.
You can type in "819 billion seconds in years" and hit enter. It will calculate it for you.
You can also do all kinds of unit conversions, e.g. "0 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit".
I also have a 5 year old and an 8 year old that don't pay any taxes. Do you have a point?
I think it's 32".
Is it bigger?There's a 32" Toshiba that's very cheap right now too.
I actually got my first LCD tv this week at Target for $378 before tax. I went cheap for the first one as it will eventually end up in the bedroom. The package has a big asterisk after the 32" saying it's actually 31.5".

Yeah, your wife doesn't pay taxes.
Why don't you file jointly?
They do, but I guess both filers have to work to get the bigger check.
I'm not HR Block, but I would figure if you file head of household that you should get a check but I'll take your word that you don't, and frankly that sucks for you.....
...but I'm not gonna feel guilty about taking the money.
I would hate to be the one that made $75,001.
