		<description>What is 85 billion divided by 200 million?
In: Math [Edit categories]
	
[Edit]
[Edit]
1000 / 200 is the same a s 100 / 20, which is the same as 10 / 2 ... when two numbers in a division share a number of trailing zeroes these can be cancelled out.

85,000.000,000 = 85 billion

200,000,000 = 200 million.

As both numbers have 8 trailing zeroes, we can cancel them out. This leaves us with 850 and 2. Now the division problem is much easier. 850 /2 = 425.

So 85 billion divided by 200 million = 425.

-- edit --

In British English usage a billion has 12 zeroes. so the answer then would be 425,000</description>

		<description>I read Birk&#039;s email, but I am fascinated by the comments on this website. Birk said &quot;...every American OVER 18 years of age...&quot;  Check the US Census there is approximately 122,450,047 Americans over 18.  It still comes out short, however, $694.16.  Everyone was so quick to doing the math, but using the wrong numbers!  Being on SS I can use this money more then AIG.

Yes we need change in our country, but we&#039;ve got to get our house in order.  No I&#039;m not religious, but I see the bible as a good philosophy book.  And when I read it it just amaze me how people in that time  had wisdom. Take the story about the &quot;clay feet..&quot; and the body of iron.  Translated means we can&#039;t build our country into a great society on &quot;clay feet&quot;, meaning on a &quot;lie&quot;.  I&#039;m willing to hear something on this other then my own opinion.
Yep! Just like in those Babylon eras it will surely fall to the ground--think we&#039;re almost there.
Check ae911truth.org and you will know what I am talking about.  Being in the same profession as Mr. Richard Gage and using the same tools that all engineers use will arrive to the same conclusion,  911 was an inside job and we cannot build our country upon clay feet/a lie.
We need to start cleaning up our own mess before we can lay the foundation to our new Country. 
Please facts not personal hyperbole.</description>

		<description>Great blog... had a blast reading it! Bottom line, money and power controls the hearts of men. This will never change. 
COWG - I like and respect the fact that you dont erase comments (even though you have the power to do so) that make you look like a simple minded person who cannot or will not consider views/ideas that do not come from the right.

For those on the Obama bandwagon. Sorry ya&#039;ll, he isn&#039;t going to save us. Mccain will only do us harm as well. 

The problem is a &quot;everything revolves around me&quot; mentality. The way I see it. Unless your willing to work hard for it, you don&#039;t deserve it. What ever &quot;it&quot; may be. No matter creed, color, nationality. If you want to be in this country, then pick up a broom and get to work with the rest of us. If you dont want to pitch in then find somewhere else to be. That simple. If your not part of the solution then your part of the problem. Move you and yours to Mexico cause we dont need you.

		<description>Divide the 85 Billion by only working individuals.  The results will be higher than 425. per tax payer.</description>

		<description>To the conservatives that think &quot;progressive (liberal) american&quot; gabe is crazy (and I do)...it looks like Obama will win!  How? by getting the press on the Obama bandwagon full steam ahead...let&#039;s not forget that the press had Kerry ahead prior to the last pres election and that Clinton enjoyed the very split vote from the great H. Ross Perot.

Better get out and vote, bring 1o others to vote with you and then look out for all the wholesale cheating that Barack and team has planned. It will happen</description>

		<description>Only problem with email, his maths only works if you use the British definition of a Billion which is a million million $85,000,000,000,000 , which is not the US standard of thousand million

Here is the actaul story:
 
Hi Pals,

I&#039;m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

In stead, I&#039;m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let&#039;s assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425.00.

My plan is to give $425 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let&#039;s assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127.50 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297.50 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595.00.

Pay one installment of your mortgage - housing crisis delayed for one month.
 

Still in the shit</description>
