I've got a good use for what's left of the $700B.

Put it in the Social Security fund and tear up some of the IOUs.

1. I'd Be Happy with Some

Like maybe a Billion. Just a Billion. What's the problem?

2. I was thinking strip club, but that works too. n/t

3. Either that or Unemployment benefits....

Ohio runs out next month.

4. It's owed $2.3 trillion

Half of that $700B would help, but not that much.

5. It's a lot more responsible than spending it.

[OhioChick]

6. With no oversight...

There's probably none left...so why even think about it? :shrug:

7. Depends where they spend it

But mostly I was just adding the figure so people would know how much is owed the supposed useless paper that is the Social Security Trust Fund. That's the taxes that low-income supposedly don't pay because it went right into the general revenues.

8. Saving is always more responsible than spending.

9. No, sometimes you have to spend

If you're unemployed and the only way you can get a job is to use your savings to drive to an interview in another state, you better do it.
