$7692.31
Ah, that sound of relief as the government bails out all those banks and insurance companies. Good news - huh? As near as I can figure it, if you take the $1 trillion in bailout money and divide it by 130 million taxpayers, it means your chunk of the bill is $7692.31, actually it's 1/3 of cent lower than that, but what's a fraction of a penny among fellow citizens?
And if you're wondering, I really don't have any idea if those numbers are correct. I have problems with grasping thousands of dollars; millions, billions and trillions aren't even imaginable. I could pay for my house 6 million times over with a trillion bucks - how can anyone imagine numbers like that. I wonder how much Bush will be kicking in?
