#1 Wouldn't it be more effective to give each CITIZEN one million tax-free dollars?

Why yes, it would, so they can't even think of it.

#2 Sure - if you don't mind $50 hamburgers...

#3 I understand you think that would bring on unlimited inflation.
You don't give the people of the USA any common sense, anybody selling 50 buck hamburgers will quickly be put out of business, even Millionaires won't be screwed (not including dumbasses), who quickly will NOT be millionaires very long, say two months or so.

There always will be fools, but given a million, I'd sit on it for 6 months or so and let the morons spend themselves broke, and still be WAY ahead.I could stretch my stored food (Pantry, a southern thing) We all have some food put away for hard times.

#5 You're right. I don't have much faith in peoples' common sense. I also didn't say prices would go up overnight. But they would go up. That much money in the hands of so many in the economy would lead to a shortage of goods and services in some sectors (home-improvement, for example). It isn't a far stretch to think that costs and prices would go up in other sectors as well.

BTW, Mormons have pantries too. Just a little 'cultural edification' for you.
