The House has agreed to an $825 BILLION stimulus package that has numerous and varied trappings and once the monies are disbursed all we can do is sit back and wait to see if it all helps our economy.
I decided to try my hand at using these huge numbers for the purpose of assisting the working citizens of this great country instead of handing it to CEOs who already have shown their track record.
I ran a quick web search for the total US population and the latest figures place it at 306 million souls. I also found that 28% of us are under 20 years of age and another 13% are over 65. This leaves 59% of the population as the main bread winners, or 180,540,000 of us.
If you are still with me, you are not afraid of numbers. I then divided the $825 Billion by the 180,540,000 and this would give each of us a stimulus check of $4,570 each. A husband and wife team would receive $9,140. There's your economic stimulus package. Americans love to spend money. That currency would be in the hands of retailers in no time and it would filter it's way back to the manufacturers and service providers of all fields of our economy.
