A million dollars for everyone

"It makes for a nice dream but of course it wouldn't work, paying people for nothign never does and when there's a money shortage it's not like you can just run the mint for another couple of hours."

That is exactly what they are doing now, just keeping the mint open a few extra hours. That 40 million just might have worked.

And the longer they keep the mint running the less value the dollar has. I remember when it bought 9 loaves of bread or 7 quarts of milk.:lol::lol:

Sorry, that would be 8 litres of milk.
