    Missouri Dave...

    I read somewhere that if you broke down the $700 trillion, it would come to about $30,000 per person in America.

    700 billion divided by roughly 300 million people (and that includes the old, the infants, the infirm and those in jail) works out to about $2300.00 for every man, woman and child in the USA.

    Send out $2300.00 checks to everyone. The rest will take care of itself.
