Got an article about that in my yahoo junk mail yesterday... It reads that if they added the first $700 billion bailout (the one that is already spent) to the current 819 billion bailout it would be somewhere around $9700 per person if divided amongst everyone who filed taxes in 2008 for 2007... to me it's just that, junk mail & silliness... not only would that not help health care or any other cause, but not everyone would put that money back into the economy, some would save it & others may blow it.
No it would never happen & thank god it wouldn't.
Thanks PK for the thread, I will follow the link from work later
