is this right? please help thanks♥?
In the 'short scale' a billion is 1000 million
( got this from wiki.answers.com)
the auto makers want $15 billion
or
$15,000 millions right
there are 300 million Americans
(got that number from www.300millionamericans.org)
$15,000 millions divided by 300 million Americans is $5 million bucks per American if my math is right anyways..
ok so my question is if my math is right why not just give everyone who lives in America $5 million bucks and shut down the auto makers???
what are you thoughts??? thanks!

Nice try. But it's only $50 per person.
that is some screwy logic but if u can convince every one to do it , i'm in
