i did not do the math when i sent it to Big Dog but even if it is 425.00 that is much better to get them what you will pay in for the bailout. The person who sent it to me still has a better idea then the idiots brokering the deal.

The thing is here I’m not sure the best way to go about this whole bailout thing. My couple low level economics classes in college don’t quite cover the depth of this whole mess. I’m not sure the urgency with which Congress is acting is wise yet I’m also not sure it isn’t necessary. As I’ve said in another post my instinct is to say “let them crash & burn, they’ve made their beds (and millions of dollars) let them lie in it”. However, I’m also not one to cut my nose off to spite my face, if its true that their collapse could put us in a depression and the bail out can stave off that occurrence then we should probably do it.

I do know I’m mad a hell about the crap people are trying to slip in like the 20% of any future sales going to ACORN, and no accountability or review for the Sec. of Treasury. Screw ACORN and the Democrats for trying to put that in, how about 20% goes back to the American Taxpayer (in direct proportion to the taxes we pay)? How about 20% goes to paying off the National Debt? Its this kind of shady stuff that has me thoroughly disgusted with our politicians. Not one damn Congressional incumbent is getting my vote this year even if it means I got to vote for a Democrat for my house seat.

Thank you all for the comments. As noted in the update, after I shut down last night the math struck me as odd. Your cheery comments this morning confirm that I had not accurately checked before I posted this.

Jon, I appreciate the way you put this. Do yourself a favor, don’t go into the teaching profession.

I realize math rules have changed over the years, but using this newfangled thing called a calculator, your answer is off by 1,000 times. $425 per person will not go very far.

I got this this morning as well and almost posted it…my response to the friend who sent it was that if you gave that much money to some, they would end up killing themselves (drugs) or another (robbery) because they wouldn’t know how to act… a “bonus” to the plan! LOL

I’ve been saying this all week! although I’m working with $700 Billion… That’s ~$2.26 Million per American. Your math still applies…
