For 800 billion, you could give every unemployed person about $150,000 and tell them all to fxxk off.

Some quick calculations: 800 billion dollars divided by, roughly 310 million US citizens gives $2,580 per citizen or over 10k per family.
Why not just send it to us? We are the ones who are going to get stuck with the bill.

For nothing you could promise them $1,000,000 and then get a new name and plastic surgery.

It's just now getting underway in a BIG way. Uncle Sam is now performing an historically unprecedented spending spree all with non-existent money. In borrowed (printed) money we recently have:

$.2 billion in borrowed money for the inauguration.

$100's of billions in bank bailouts.

$10's of billions in manufacturing bailouts.

$100's of billions of state bailouts pending.

$.5 trillion/yr for wars. Minimum of four more years.

$100's of billions/yr in make-work projects proposed.
