$1000 per month cash handout would grow the economy by $2.5 trillion, study says

*per a grand total of one macroeconomic model which presupposes an unproven point of conjecture as the basis for its conclusions.

I would either use it to support my various hobbies or save it up for a bigger expense down the road.

$1000 per month handout would cost three trillion dollars annually, assuming it's limited to just adults.
http://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/tables/99-total-population-by-child-and-adult

249,485,228 x $1000 X 12 = $2,993,822,736,000

The total US budget is about $3.8 trillion.

Thus, the article is already utter bullshit, in that doing so to grow the economy by $2.5 trillion causes five hundred billion dollars to somehow vanish.

Wait. If everyone had more money, then wouldn't average pricing on household items go up...?
