Another cut at the math....

the US household population in 2006 is 291,332,841 (http://factfinder.census.gov/servle...sheet_0&_sse=on)



Which brings the average payment per house hold to $2402.75 per household BEFORE TAX. After tax, that's about $1680.

So, the question is....what would you do with $1700? If you used this money to pay on your mortgage or credit cards or car loans, then you'd be basically giving it to the same people who needed bailing out.

Do you think this method is better than giving it straight to those companies, or does it functionally make a difference?
