If you take the estimated 310 million people in the United States (Wikipedia says it was 305 million in 2005), and figure that the number of households is about 112 million (the US Census projects househols to increase from 103 million in 2000 to be 115 million by 2010), then you take the $700,000,000,000 ($700 billion) that Congress voted to give away and instead gave a one-time stimulus check of $500,000 to every household in America (regardless of household size), you'd only spend $560 billion - a 20% savings.
If you gave $500,000 to married couples and $250,000 to single households, you'd save even more.
Now that's a stimulus package!! That would fight foreclosures. That would pay for college educations and medical bills. That would let people start businesses.
If you want to stimulate the economy, why not put the money in at the bottom and let it filter its way thoughout the system rather than keep it at the top?
As long as Congress wants to spend money, why not let them do it this way?
