I'll tell 162,000 people that they are due $137,999, and that way I can collect my full $300,000. Yes! I just found my next scam... er, I mean, business idea. But on a more serious note, I don't think most people realize what dumping $700 billion dollars into the big American money bucket will do. Now that there is more money floating around, it devalues the $3.72 that I have in my pocket. And since I don't get a raise every time Congress decides to print off more money, it makes me more poor. I was below the poverty line for the first 10 years of my marriage. Don't make me go back there! I have an idea.
