The end. » media http://www.susanfitzgerald.com/blog Observing the decline of the old, and the birth of the new media. As well as a few business models along the way.

The Paulson plan is now estimated to cost $1 trillion. UPDATE — it’s now $5 trillion! – Wow, now it’s $7.7 trillion!!!

There are about 300,000,000 people in the US.

Why not ‘bailout’ each citizen with $1 million each, with some requirements — that the mortgages be paid off and those without homes would buy one? Granted, we might need a few other fine tunings in the details.

As a stimulus package it would totally eliminate poor people who would now be able to afford health care, a new car and facials at the spa!

Just food for thought. It’s our money after all.

Let me know what you think.
