Time had an article in their January issue on all the things you could do with a trillion dollars. They indicated that if the amount were divided among the population of the US that EVERY man woman and child would recieve approx $3500 each. I think a better idea would be to divide that amount between all the people who actually file income tax. The amount would be substantial and the govt could take tax out of that money. People could pay their own mortgages and bills and i believe this would do more to stimulate the economy.
