For 800 billion, you could give every unemployed person about $150,000 and tell them all to fxxk off.

Some quick calculations: 800 billion dollars divided by, roughly 310 million US citizens gives $2,580 per citizen or over 10k per family.
Why not just send it to us? We are the ones who are going to get stuck with the bill.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Madpaddy', 'F')or 800 billion, you could give every unemployed person about $150,000 and tell them all to fxxk off.
For nothing you could promise them $1,000,000 and then get a new name and plastic surgery.

That's exactly what we're DOING!
It's just now getting underway in a BIG way. Uncle Sam is now performing an historically unprecedented spending spree all with non-existent money. In borrowed (printed) money we recently have:
$.2 billion in borrowed money for the inauguration.
$100's of billions in bank bailouts.
$10's of billions in manufacturing bailouts.
$100's of billions of state bailouts pending.
$.5 trillion/yr for wars. Minimum of four more years.
$100's of billions/yr in make-work projects proposed.
