Barack Obama becomes president
Boingboing reports today on the staggering cost of the bailout(s) thus far. However, it’s easy to get lost in such huge numbers. What’s a million? billion? trillion?
Fortunately the google comes to the rescue and we can quickly figure that the cost is around $13,000 per person (4 trillion divided by 300 million).
What would happen if we just gave that amount of scratch away? What would everyone do with $13,000?
