Firstly, it does cost 1.3 trillion. 1,300,000,000,000 is 1.3 trillion. a trillion is a thousand thousand millions.

corporate america built the economic system just as much as the consumer. consumer buys and producer sells. it takes two to tango.
corporate us provides jobs.

what your going to do is cause inflation. That doesn’t help everyone. Giving everyone 10 000 dollars won’t help if that makes every other dollar they have worthless. That 800 billion that is being dashed away is going to consumers- its being spent, so it will go to peoples incomes and promote jobs.

It’s just indirect.

As for the bank bailout, that’s there to keep the sector solvent. If they didn’t do that, there would be more instability and we’d plunge towards depression. Investment would dry up more and a lot more banks would go broke

(-: I think they should really mess things up, and give every American a half a million dollars (doesn’t even have to be tax free). It’d give people a chance to vote with their dollars about what industries they want saved. And the gov’t would get a bunch back in taxes.

Your plan doesn’t cost 1.3 trillion, as far as I can figure. Yours would be 1,300,000,000,000, which is only 1.3 billion dollars. You’d need three more zeroes to get it up to a trillion. Three more zeroes would give every American 10 million dollars, and THEN your plan would cost 1.3 trillion (-:.

Hey, I’ll take 10 million dollars, too!

Edit: Hmmm. “Oviously” you are one of those poor children who had to learn their mathematics via the New Math system. And your spelling through the New English system, maybe?

Let me give you a brief refresher course:
100 equals one hundred
1,000 equals one thousand
1,000,000 equals one million
1,000,000,000 equals one billion (in the US way of counting)
1,000,000,000,000 equals one trillion (in the US way of counting)

Now, stick THAT in your calculator and see what you get.
1,300,000,000,000 divided by
130,000,000
leaves you 10,000,000.

Poor baby; get a job. You’ll need it. I hear McDonald’s is still hiring, but with your math skills, I wouldn’t be so ambitious.
