1. I disagree
I think the dumbass that bought Chalabi's scam hook, line, and sinker owes us $300 billion, and about another $500 billion to Iraq.

2. If we took that 300B
and gave it back to every single tax paying citizen in the United states every person in the US would be a billionaire.

That would cause major inflation and havoc to the rich poor divide, but who cares it would be funny.

4. For that to be true
there would have to be 300 or fewer taxpayers in the US.

Think about it.

6. DUH!
oh.. DUH! stupid math. Thank you for correcting my math. I guess it would be 1000 dollars per person, assuming 300M people even though I know it's 320M or somewhere near that.

Hmmm... that's chump change... makes you realise just how much money Bush got out of the government.
