Russel Crowe says to Leno -- "Assuming there's what, 300 million people in the USA? Okay, what you do is give each person in the country... a million dollars."
lol
I like it. Seriously, dumping 800 billion into the economy in HOPES that it does the job and kickstarts it, OR... taking a mere 300 mill (give or take), a paltry sum by comparisson, and just giving a million to each and every US citizen. Houses would be bought (and built), cars bought, businesses started, money invested, bank accounts fattened,... all in the blink of an eye.
It's brilliant.
:D
Of course some assholes here are ready to jump all over me with their so-called "reality" and a pagelong diatribe about why it wouldn't work ---- well save it, keep it, shove it. I have a lot of friends and family in the US who would become instant millionaires so just shut your holes and let me enjoy my fantasy. You pricks know who you are, armchair economists every one of you!! ha ha
