Could work, except that our national deficit is no where near that number.....We could pay ourselves out of debt first and still not be anywhere near that number. We could buy a new car for every working adult in the country, and still not be anywhere near that number. We could probably pay off every home mortgage in the country and still not be anywhere near that number.

Or we could bail out large corporations like GM, and then let them move all their mfg to China, and import the cars to this country. Lose about 20 Gazillion jobs that are in one way or another associated with the auto makers, unions, etc. But then of course we would have to also bail out the banks, and Insurance companies, and let them squander the money, and have nothing left to show for it, except a huge deficit.

Since this seems to be the way the Govt has chosen to handle things, we probably should let them also run our healthcare. I mean look what a great job they have done with Medicare. Most doctors around where I live won't even take new medicare patients.

just a thought.
