I kind of like it, short, snazzy, cheaper that the bailout so who'd complain or oppose it?

people would **** it away on the dumbest things. It would be cheaper to forgive ALL the debt people have. That includes CC, Student Loans, medical bills etc. They should do that after buying up the bad debt from the international banksters. Then I say, don't make the banksters pay back the "loans" WE the people are giving them up to the amount of all the debt forgiveness. People would be able to loosen the purse strings a bit. Also, I think we should adopt a debt system like France. Over there, from my understanding, if you don't have the money in the bank, when you go to use your CC, the purchase wont go through. They also only give home loans up to a 3rd of the cost of the home. That would change this country big time. |

300 million x 1 million = 30000000000000 |

As mentioned, the math is off. Also, if we printed 300 trillion in new money inflation would be so high you could maybe afford to go to dinner and a movie with your million.

If everyone in the US man, women and child had the same amount of money, in five years this is where we would be. The people that have money now would still be making money. The middle would still be living hand to mouth. And, the people that are poor now, would be poor then. Ya can't fix stupid.
