what would you have done with your 400K bailout...?

Question

money.  IF it would have been give to you instead of bailing out wallstreet. Even if it was taxable you would have still had a nice chunk of change. 

Here's what I would have done

I would have used it to help with my mortgage payment
paid some bills
put some in saving
bought some stuff

I think we would have done much better for our economy than 
these bailouts.

also alot of people told me they didnt agree because people who invested in these companies would have lost money. but if were giving them 400K would that help them recover some of the loss. Maybe we could have let them have it tax deductable if they were over the age of 50yrs old. 

I think this as another sell out to ALL the american people, i think we could have done better. 

**FYI**  AIG execs just had a 440K vacation for the exeutives with your hard earned tax dollars. this is what we get for helping out wallstreet.

Your math is wrong. $700 Billion divided by the U.S. Population is only about $2,000. not 400k, where did you get such an outrageous number?

I'm confused.  Was the bailout for 100 trillion dollars?  How would we have received 400K each out of it?  Or are you saying that because a few AIG execs improperly used corporate funds we would be encouraged to do the same given the chance?

First of all, 400K per taxpayer would cost more than the $85 billion.  According to the IRS, there are roughly 100,000,000 taxpayers in the US.  It would cost $4 trillion dollars to give everyone 400k.  Do the math.
