So the $700,000,000,000 bailout plan pushed by the Bush administration and tweaked by Congress over the weekend failed to make it out of the House, and everyone is scratching their heads, wondering, “Now what?”

Well, it seems a Dallas Morning News reader has a simple idea: Give every legal American resident a check for $1 million.

With a population of about 300 million people, that comes to about $300 billion total, less than half of what Congress was proposing to spend. Trim it down to $1 million per household (still fine by me!), and that number drops even further.

Brilliant!
