I think with the amount of money that's being spent on bailouts, it would have ended up being more fair and more effective to just cut every man woman and child in the states a check for 3000 to get the economy going

Of course I have noticed that all the bad times started with the advent of American Idol. Maybe we need to outlaw this show too. Couldn't hurt. :nod:

I am not so good at math, and trying to get a concept of what a billion is let alone trillion etc. BUT seems like if all that "bail out" was divided out to every man woman and child wouldn't it be more like $300,000. each?????????Nesikep":2snfcxhe said:I think everyone does... lets not forget freddie mac and fanny mae that should be in there too...

I agree. Or you give "tax cuts" to people that don't pay taxes. I don't understand the language they speak up there...
Nope. Big numbers can get confusing, one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) is one million million (1,000,000,000,0000)CKC1586":2ffbh6sq said:I am not so good at math, and trying to get a concept of what a billion is let alone trillion etc. BUT seems like if all that "bail out" was divided out to every man woman and child wouldn't it be more like $300,000. each?????????

Flynt, Francis Ask Congress For XXX Large BailoutLOS ANGELES
Larry Flynt (pictured) and Joe Francis have asked Congress for a $5 billion federal bailout.
Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt and "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis announced Wednesday that they have asked Congress for a $5 billion federal bailout to help the adult entertainment industry during the economic downturn.
"People are too depressed to be sexually active," Flynt said. "This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex."
"Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses," he said. "We feel we deserve the same consideration. In difficult economic times, Americans turn to entertainment for relief. More and more, the kind of entertainment they turn to is adult entertainment."
According to Flynt and Francis, adult DVD sales and rentals have decreased by 22 percent in the past year.
Francis said the money for the $13 billion industry would be "just to see us through hard times."
"With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind," Flynt said. "It's time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America. The only way they can do this is by supporting the adult industry and doing it quickly."

Nesikep":oyn79cxd said:hahaha.. what's next?
I think the taxpayers should be asking for a bailout too
BTW, a trillion is one MILLION MILLION
1 trillion divided among 300 million americans would be $3,333.33
