A buddy sent me that email the other day. Even if the math did work out to close to a half a million, do we really want to give that to every adult. Bill Gates doesn't need it, and I'm sure he's not the only one. Then there are the welfare people, folks that abuse the system and have us paying for all of their crap.

Then assume that they did it anyway. Most of these folks would be broke again in no time having spent their dough on crap and or blowing it.

Then, if everyone was a half a millionaire, the cost of everything would go up to ridiculous levels. The dollar would probably be worth half what it is now.

There are so many reasons not to do this sort of thing, even if it worked out that way.
