Day Five: $800 Million (Sept 13, 2008)


Policy announcement #5: $800,000,000
Running Total: $2,010,000,000
We scoff at day 4's one billion.


Cost to each taxpayer $60.95 ($2.01 Billion between 32.976M of us):


Can I afford $60.95? $61? Spread out over a year, it's not that much, but it's the kind of number you notice all at once.


Things you can buy with $60.95:
49 medium coffees from Tim Hortons ($1.22);


3 Jessica®/MD Varigated Rib Chemise ($18.74);


1 Hamilton Beach 42-cup Coffee Urn ($59.99);
