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. I’ll tell 162,000 people that they are due $137,999, and that way I can collect my full $300,000. Yes!
