just about 350000 people in the us, why the government dont give everybody $100,000 instead of the similus pkg?

It really doesn't matter, the country will fold in on itself anyway. As someone said before me it is just being used to re-elect Democrats next time around.

We are in for a long hard future. God help us all!

$1 trillion divided by 200 million taxpayers = $5,000 each. American economic activity is about $4 trillion. When you just print and add currency, then what activity was represented by $4t is now represented by $5t without any change in what we produce. That means 25% inflation - instantly! The car that cost $15,000 will now cost $18,750! Add to that the need for businesses to recover enough money to replace items on their shelves, then current inventories will increase too! Just printing money ain't too smart.

P.S. My County, Broward Florida has about 1,800,000 people, Dade County to the south of me has 3,000,000, and Palm Beach County has 1,300,000. My tri-County area represents 1.5% of the U.S. population. Between our counties we have more than 350,000 kids trapped in Government run education facilities!

You mean 350 Million brother. And that would cost the government 35 Trillion which it does not have. The country would implode.

There is a bit more than 350,000 people in the US... Anyways, the Gov thinks they can help the people better by helping the banking system... Of course, I tend to not agree with that rational.

The government that governs least governs best. Get the hell out of private business.

I used to say, because it would cause massive overnight inflation. Now, I'm not so sure we aren't going to see massive inflation as a result of this anyway.

There are 350 million people in the US. It would be a thousand dollars a head, which would be as perfectly useless as the stimulus checks that went out last year. The money spent on infrastructure projects will actually go into creating jobs now instead of increasing marginally Wal-Mart's sales.

Because the money is actually going to groups that will help fund the Democrats' reelection campaign.

Yep ... and you could use it getting yourself educated so that you don't write drivel!

it's more convenient to have each of our nation's 7,400,000 taxpayers donate $120,000 to repay it.
