As for he bailout, an Australian acquaintance told me the other day that the US gov-a-mint should've just given everybody in the country (300 million) a million dollars instead of spending 300 billion on car company bailout. Or just buy everybody a new car. Either way, it would've been cheaper. Don't you think having a million dollars would "stimulate" your economy? Sure would mine!
