To post your suggested uses of $1,000,000,000,000, please post a comment to this entry.

Let me start with the obvious. With 300 million people in the US, we could just flat out write a check for $3,333 to every man woman and child alive in the country today. But wait, that's not a wise use of money! Let's invest that trillion at an average of 10% return and make yearly payouts without squandering the principle. We could write a check for $333 every year to every US citizen.
Money is nice and all, but neither of these options excites me too much. I want to hire some consultants to come up with better ideas. At a salary of $100,000 for a year's worth of ideas, I could hire 10 million people. That's a lot of ideas.
