There are about 140 million taxpayers in the US, so the cost per taxpayer is going to be $5,700 for this bill and $5,000 for the bank bailout bill. God only knows when those amounts will be paid.
The country's $12 trillion debt represents $85,700 per taxpayer, not including the interest. Paying that back over 30 years with interest would be about $600 per taxpayer for those $30 years. They should seriously think about passing a bill for a straight $600 tax to everybody earning money to pay back the debt we have incurred so we don't pass it on to the next generation, and then they should balance the budget every year from there on out.
