total in the US who would not qualify. (435,000 if your plan has a 'marriage penalty').

330,000,000 Americans
- 435,000 Millionaires

= 329,565,000 monthly checks of $3000 each

= 989 BILLION per month
= 11.5 TRILLION per year

Total US GDP is about 14 Trillion per year.

See any problems yet?

OK Americans age 18 + Vincardog Dec 2014 #7

76% of US population is over 18. So, we went from 11.5 Trillion to almost 9 Trillion kelly1mm Dec 2014 #8

OK 18+ and last years income < $200,000 Vincardog Dec 2014 #9

$200,000 plus (per person) is less than 2 milion people. That changes it to needing 8.6 Trillion kelly1mm Dec 2014 #10

So did you click the link and vote to discuss it? OR is an internet vote too expensive? Vincardog Dec 2014 #11
