If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people
under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. - Thomas Jefferson

Bail out me, Not AIG

I like this idea. Instead of bailing out AIG, give the money to every tax paying citizen over 18 years old. By his calculations that'd equal "every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket" (after taxes)
He points out that this would likely straight up solve the mortgage/foreclosure crisis as a large percentage of Americans could probably pay theirs off...

Of course, I'd probably still bitch about the waste of taxpayer money... (But I'd do it from a much nicer computer!)
