if you take 12 trillion dollars and divide that by 300 million. Approx number of people in the US. you have 40k PER PERSON.
That means that my family would have gotten 120k had they given it to us.
We would have purchased
1 new car
New clothes
toys for my son
and banked about 60k or more.
But hell that would have been spending.. Much better to give the money to the banks and businesses so they can keep them for a rainy day or to give it to a few dozen people.
