It appears that the cost of President Barack Obama’s economic (or recovery or stimulus) plan (or bailout or whatever) is now above US$900 billion! Let’s round that figure up to roughly US$1 trillion dollars, which has twelve zeros after the number one and look like this:
$1,000,000,000,000.00
According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the resident population of the United States, projected to 02/06/09 at 02:08 GMT (EST+5) is:
305,757,288
The [U.S. POPClock Projection] clock is based on the national population estimates, by the way.
Let’s do a little math, folks. The following illustration shows how insane the American government is treating its hard-working, tax-paying citizens:
$1,000,000,000,000.00
divided by
305,757,288
equals
$3,270.56799 (per person)
Now I don’t know about y’all. But I definitely don’t have $3,270.57 dollars to spare. This is because I don’t have any income. Ask any old-timer who barely makes rent. Ask any homeless dude if this is too much to ask.
So while the commoners are just barely getting by, this scam does not even dent the fur-lined, wallets of the wealthy. Can’t y’all save $27.25475 ($3,270.56799 / 12 months / 10 years) per month for the next 10 years? Not! That’s grocery money, dammit! I need my coffee!
