Hey @jrcornel:

Here I go doing some math. :)

If we're not talking millionaires (or their spouses and children, if any), and supposing a 2.5 per household average across the board (didn't check for sure but it's been that range within the last five years), of the 327 million plus living in the U.S., 239.5 men, women and children would receive a check.

At $4,500 a pop, that's a ginormous $1.07775 trillion.

Nice to have if it were truly free money and didn't come with some hefty strings attached, as in, who's going to ultimately pay for it? The same folks getting it, you and me, except we'll also owe for kids, many of which aren't of working age and won't be for quite a while. :)
