  I'm fairly math-challenged, but I came up with $425 per adult.

  >     To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide 
U.S. Citizens 18+.  Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every 
man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and 
up... So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals 
$425,000.00.
  >     My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a "We Deserve It 
Dividend".  Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let's assume a tax rate 
of 30%.  Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends 
$25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.  But it means that every adult 18+ 
has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife has $595,000.00. 
  >     What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?  
Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.  Repay college loans - what a 
great boost to new grads.  Put away money for college - it'll be there.  Save 
in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.  Buy a new car - create 
jobs Invest in the market - capital drives growth.  Pay for your parent's 
medical insurance - health care improves Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean 
or else.
  >     Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks 
who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is 
cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.  If we're 
going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a 
puny $1000.00 economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our 
candidates for President.  
  > IF WE WERE GOING TO DO AN A$85 BILLION BAILOUT, LET'S BAIL OUT EVERY 
ADULT U.S.CITIZEN 18+ !!!
  >     As for AIG - liquidate it. Sell off its parts. Let American General 
go back to being American General. Sell off the real estate. Let the private 
sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.  Here's my rationale. We 
deserve it and AIG doesn't. 
  >     Sure it's a crazy idea that can work.  But can you imagine the 
Coast-To-Coast Block Party!  How do you spell Economic Boom? 
  > I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion We 
Deserve It Dividend more than the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC . 
  >     And remember, The Family plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because 
$25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
