Yup. We're at a total cost of what... about 16k per person, man, woman, and child, in the us? At this point... figure max 10 percent unemployment... we could just hire all the unemployed people in the country and pay them a living wage for 10 f'ing years... which actually wouldn't be a terrible stimulus package, and at least we'd get some damn roads and state parks built, or something.

Of course there is a very good chance that we will get all this money back.
