Oh OK then. I guess we ARE doing it the cheaper way. I thought it sounded suspiciously low, but when talking in numbers that big, I find it hard to wrap my brain around them, unless it's about science. So really, I had no idea if it was accurate.

How much would it have cost to just give every adult citizen $50k?

Dear Mr. President,
Subject: Patriotic retirement:

There's about 40 million people over 50 in the work force;
I suggest you pay them $1 million apiece severance, with three stipulations:

1) They retire from their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.

3) They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage- Housing Crisis fixed.

All National financial problems fixed!!!
