Peanuts, it would need to give everyone in the *country* $24,000, to

I'd take it. Start spending it. so would most everybody else. It
would be a better boost to the economy. BTW, the products you would
buy there's (in most cases) local and other sales taxes. that would
boost the individual states coffers as well.


I'm for it.

Me too. I'd take that $24k and make a big shopping trip to the US.
North Conway, Kittery and any other outlet town...here I come.
