This article explains it fairly well, though it is biased against it.
Anyone have anything new or good to say about this plan?

Anyway I've not heard that rumour, it's too absurd for anyone to believe it and pass it around in the U.S. The closest thing to that is that McCain wants to postpone the debate.

If I understand it right, this bailout is costing each household in America about $18,000?

2. Stop being stupid.
3. I know you guys each have some sort of personal vendetta against each other, but seriously, grow up. Take it elsewhere. Debate with some sort of semblance of civility, please.
4. Stop being stupid.
Thank you.

Maybe they can just be like, "Hey, since money isn't really real anyway, we'll just pretend we have this money - just put it into the computer somebody, will ya?" And then with technological magic, our government is suddenly billions of dollars richer, and can fix all the problems...
And then blame the rampant inflation that will result on things like foreign oil dependencies, jobs going overseas, and them damn terrorists.

Does anyone else think that Secretary of Treasury should be an elected position? They have a scary amount of power and they're not accountable to anyone. Not that elected officials are accountable to anyone either...
