[Peace-discuss] FW: Interesting Economic Recovery Plan--- Please read ---This is clever

[Stuart Levy]

This plan isn't as clever as it seems -- like another posted here recently,
it dropped a few decimal points.  Dividing the AIG bailout by the US adult
population yields more like $425 per adult, not $425,000.

It's interesting to divide the national debt, nearing 10 trillion dollars,
by the population.  *That* amounts to more than $30,000 for every person
in the country.
