Yes, but we need other countries to invest in our market. Won’t happen if it crashes b/c they give it all out to us. Make sense?

Because there is a serious flaw in your math. 425,000 x 200,000,000 equals 85,000,000,000,000 which is 85 TRILLION not Billion. 85 Billion divided by 200 Million is only 425 dollars per person. Check your math then get back to us.
see…
1,000 – thousand
100,000 – hundred thousand
100,000,000 – hundred million
85,000,000,000 – 85 billion
85,000,000,000,000 – 85 Trillion…check your math!

Well that sounds like a good idea, but what happened when bush gave out the tax money, he wanted the people to spend spend and spend it, when in reality almost no one spend the money and instead put it in accounts or savings. That money wasnt going around to businesss so our economy and market came down dramatically.
And your plan would bacfire very badly because knowing the american nation. No one would spend it everyone would put that into banks and accounts, and that money would not circulate.
Nice try tho
