If you divide that by the current population of the US, 305,309,344, that is $2292.76/person. That's one heck of a stimulus package if you ask me.<BR/><BR/>If you break it down even further and assume that only people over the age of 18 can get a stimulus check, that turns out to 225,633,342 people each getting $3102.38<BR/><BR/>And the best number yet, if you give the stimulus only to those people that currently own a home and live in it then 75,086,485 would get a check for $9322.58. (This is based on the number of homes)<BR/><BR/>I took these numbers from the Census Bureao's web site. <BR/><BR/>I have no expectation that I should ever get a check like this from the government, but what is the goal of a bailout? If you want to stimulate the economy and get debt paid off, I'm sure I could do my share with nearly $10,000 extra.OhCaptainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399011365659793142noreply@blogger.com
