Bailout

I took down the bailout post because the math was way off.

$700,000,000,000 divided by 200,000,000 people = $3500 per person, as opposed to the scenario which used a projected $85,000,000,000 which divides into $425 per person. Someone didn't use the right decimals and I didn't check this simple math before posting.

But, yes, if I had $425,000 I'd certainly put it to good use. Honest. :)

If each person were to get $425,000, it'd be a total of 85,000,000,000,000 or 85 trillion. Which is more like the numbers used for the national deficit nowadays.

I posted it on my blog and then Mein Mann did a little math and corrected me on it. Well it was a nice idea.
