I did some similar numbers the other day, but overestimating using just the basic population figure with no exceptions for millionaires and the like.
A trillion dollars is a lot of money, but the government dropped that in the last few week on the stock market.
It seems nice to me to see money actually going into the hands of the people rather than an abstract economic game for the wealthy.
Hey, @a-non-e-moose.
We might finally find out what they're doing here today or tomorrow, since they're supposed to be getting closer to a deal.
If such a deal is going to be done, it would seem to be better for it to get into the hands of those who need it most, the every day worker and consumer.
That still doesn't mean it's going to be free. We're just going to be in more debt that we can't possibly pay back if it's ever called due, and relying on the fact that it will never be called seems a little tenuous given the state of the world now, and where it could be moving forward.
