I am furious about the government bailouts. I heard on the news this morning that the bailout total comes to 816 billion dollars. According to the 2007 census there are 301,139,947 people in the United States. That means if we the taxpayers were to all divide the debit evenly we'd each pay $2,709.71.
I hope we won't be required to split the debt but I have a feeling we will have to pay at least something. Nicole asked me today what I thought would happen if the government just let the companies fail. I realized I have no idea what would happen. Would anything directly effect me?
Anyone else have any ideas?
