What if every single nation gave all it's citizens like, 1 million dollars? That would stop poverty right? If all the nations gave their people money, then money would just overall increase in the world right? wouldn't that help a couple of the problems we have today? Or am I making a mistake here. . .?

m guessing this was before Obama was elected because it seems to me that he wants a "socialist" or "communist" nation where everyone is equal

If you gave every citizen, just in America one million dollars, the country would be even more bankrupt. There is no evidence that people will use it to circulate in the economy, and it is pretty impossible to give everyone million dollars, because many people are homeless, and in jail. People would also turn into Dr. Evil (brownie points if you get that).

Again, where is your evidence? These unsubstantiated rumors are getting really old. I suggest you all educate yourself on our elected president, because he is going to be in office for the next 8 years. Might want to figure out what he is about sooner rather than later.

Again, for the 5th time, people, I WANT TO SEE CITATION on these false claims. Obama is NOT a socialist or communist, he's not going to BE a terrorist, and you guys need to grow up if you hate him because of his middle name. Actually LEARN SOMETHING from this! If Obama was elected instead of McCain, doesn't that give a fairly good chance that America wants him to be president? You kids would believe ANYTHING that comes out of the internet. Watch CNN, No Bias, No Bull, and you will actually learn something. Do you hear anything about Obama being a terrorist, socialist, or communist? NO. Again, grow up all of you that believe this BS.

If everyone got 1 million dollars, prices would shoot through the roof, making that million dollars useless.

YA, you have to understand how economies work. If everyone got 1 million, prices would grow to accommodate those levels of cash to a level of equilibrium so prices would remain at the same ratio as earnings. Plus no one would want to work, because they would all have money, and their would be large detrimental shifts in the economy. A completely bad thing. Its good when earnings increase due to labor because people spend more, creating more jobs for producers of those purchased products and the money cycles, increase the over all wealth of the nation, and health of the economy. But to the extreme of everyone getting 1 million, it wouldn't do any good.

some of you aren't getting me, though I don't really know how economies work, so I'll agree with you there. I mean that EVERY nation on the ENTIRE EARTH gave EVERY human being on EARTH a million dollars. That's what I meant to say.

That's even worse. If the U.S. can't afford to do it, then the whole world couldn't. Then not only would the U.S. economy explode into tiny cancer infected embers, but so would the rest of the world. So, yes I am officially LOLing at your comment like you predicted in the title.

$1M x ~ 500M = $500,000,000,000,000

As you can see, the US alone would have to equal 500 trillion dollars, which the government does not have. This CANNOT happen, and it would be a huge problem if everyone did get a million dollars. Markets would collapse because of a huge inflation, due to everyone being rich, no one would do anything at all, and my above statement, "the whole world would be one giant kibbutz".

Kibbutz -- a society where all income is shared by the populace. This turns to everyone not doing their fair share of work by being lazy, we do nothing beneficial to the society, and we ultimately get destroyed in the end. As simple as that.

Back to the original posts, that would be impassible, because I dobut there is enevn that much money in existance. And then prices on everything would shoot up, so 1 million dollers would end up being more like 100 dollers.
