Why stop at $80,000? Indeed giving each citizen a billion or so is no sillier and not much more self-destructive either.

A billion is good. Why if the government gave every citizen a billion we would all be rich! Yea, that's the ticket!

This would be even better. Then they wouldn't have to work, which would leave more jobs for the 'undocumented workers'. :)
