National Economic Crisis – Solved
OK, so I was working on the national financial crisis today and started thinking, hmmm, what if we don’t give 1 trillion dollars to a bunch of fat cats who ran their companies into the ground??
Let’s see.. there are about 218 million people in America over the age of 18. Lets divide that one trillion dollars by the 218 million adults so we can pay off our own debt or really boost the economy by blowing it on stuff we don’t need to impress people we don’t even like.
Here’s where it gets cool, because I was thinking how much money that would be for each person. Problem was, my archaic calculator doesn’t have enough digits for 1 trillion (how many zeros is that anyway??).
So I go to Google and type in “1 trillion divided by 218 million” and it worked!! Try it and see how much we should be getting. The sad part is, that’s actually the number we’ll all end up contributing so the fat cats can keep getting fatter..
Well, at least we have a cool calculator :)
