What you could do with $700,000,000,000

dihard:

• Give every person in the US $2,300 or give every household $6,200.
• Pay the income taxes of every American who makes $500,000 or less a year.
• Fully fund the Defense, Treasury, Education, State Veterans Affairs and Interior departments next year, as well as NASA.
• Buy gasoline for every car in the US for 16 months.
• Buy every NFL, NBA, and MLB team and build each one a new stadium - and pay your players $191 million a piece for a year
• Create the 17th largest economy in the world - roughly equal to that of the Netherlands.
• Or you could pay off just 7% of the $9.8 trillion national debt. (via Time)

OR you could nationalize some mortgage related debt (aka “impaired assets”) that banks, credit unions, and pension funds hold. Using our tax dollars, of course.

OR pay off the entire debt of the Philippines from the World Bank and still have 10x the paid amount leftover.
