Why Wouldn't this Work? Screw it - Let's give It a Try!

Our firend Jeff La Grua passed this along:

Shawn, got this as a forward of a forward of a forward. Its interesting, and perhaps wholly unrealistic, BUT its an interesting thought exercise, and maybe, just maybe, crazy enough to work.

I am against the $85,000,000, 000.00 bailout of AIG.
Instead, I am in favor of giving $85,000,000, 000 to America
in a "We Deserve It Dividend."

To make the math simple, let us assume there are
200,000,000 bona fide U.S. Citizens 18+. Our population is
about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So
200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that
equal s $425,000.00. My plan is to give $425,000 to every
person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.
