Lets’s do the math?
According to the CIA Factbook, the U.S. population is http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″> name=”ProgId” content=”Word.Document”> name=”Generator” content=”Microsoft Word 11″> name=”Originator” content=”Microsoft Word 11″> 303,824,640 (as of July 2008 est.)
That’s 303 million plus living in the U.S.
and this is a billion:1,000,000,000 (I checked). and 1 billion is 1,000 million.
So, if you had $1 billion then and gave an equal share to each U.S. citizen, what amount would they get?
that would be:
$1,000,000,000 / 303,000,000 (rounded down for simplification).
= $3.30 per individual.
or for those who wish to be really accurate
$1,000,000,000 / 303,824,640
= $3.29per individualNow what if you had 700 Billion? 700,000,000,000?
that would be $700,000,000,000 / 303,000,000
= $2310.23 per individual.
or for those who wish to be really accurate
$700,000,000,000 / 303,824,640
= $2,303,96 per individualNow that’s counting every one that’s alive:
now if we take every adult that’s alive and Not every single child that’s alive and using the same source (CIA Factbook)
the U.S. population breaks down into the following categories:
0-14 years: 20.1% 15-64 years: 67.1% 65 years and over: 12.7%
Given that I don’t know where the break at 18years old within the 15-64 year mark is, we’ll take the two groups 15-64 and 65 and over and add them together:
67.1% + 12.7% = 74.4%
and 74.4% of 303,000,000 equals = 227250000 people age 15 and over in the U.S.
or for those who wish to be really accurate
74.4% of 303,824,640 equals = 226045532 people age 15 and over in the U.S.Now lets distribute the $700 billion amongst that age group (no offense to the 14 and under crowd)
that would be $700,000,000,000 / 227250000
= $3080.31 per individual
or for those who wish to be really accurate
that would be $700,000,000,000 / 226045532
= $ 3096.72
and the amount must obviously increase when you take the age group only from age 18 and up.
So, instead of bailing out whoever this week,
why doesn’t the govt, just give me the $3096.72 and we’ll call it a day?

i miss the days of fuzzy math.
what a wreck. what is the answer? that’s a serious question.
The answer: eliminate all domestic taxes, corporate and personal. Shut down the IRS, and take away the power that is constitutionally the Congress’ from the Fed. Build a uniform 20% import tarriff and that alone funds the govt in DC. Then deport every former US politician that is registered as a foreign agent for nations like the UAE, Israel, etc.
That’s my step one, day one move after my speech in mid-January.
