300,000,000 people in the US (give or take). How about we give each of those people a million dollars each. That comes out to $300,000,000. Is that a lot of money for the folks in Washington who seem intent on spending BILLIONS on BAILOUTS?...Tell me how my math is wrong. Why doesnt anyone ever suggest doing this?
I'd say the place where your math is wrong is where you multiply 1,000,000 dollars by 300,000,000 people, and come to a product of $300,000,000.
The answer I get is $300,000,000,000,000.00, or $300 trillion dollars.
And that's probably why nobody ever suggests doing this.

I was never good at math. I’ve now proven it. ;-)
But, hey, at least I figured it out right on my own.
