I have to write a persuasive essay for my gifted class, about what I would do with 60 BILLION Dollars, if I were the Government (and had the ability to simply put the money wherever i wanted) Jesus Christ our country is fucked up. Anyways, here are the things we have to chose from.

-Reduce our debt (like 60billion dollars will help much)
-Triple federal funding for medical research
-A much larger troop surge in Afghanistan (this would raise spending in Afghanistan by 60%)
-A nation infrastructure program to repair and upgrade roads, bridges, mass transit, water systems and levees
-FREE COLLEGE including room and board for about half of all full-time students at both for and two year colleges
-a $500 tax cut for all households

Wow, um, im not sure how im going to write this essay yet, but i thought you all (being mostly from other countries and whatnot) would love to harrass America, and give your two-cents here! :mrgreen: I actually want to hear what you all have to say about this, and if there are any actual Ideas about what to do with the money :shock:

Fund the emigration of its citizens to nicer countries (i.e. ANY other country ;-), fund their education and then nuke a big, big crater in the land itself.

I think that's the best solution.

Beat the everloving crap outta North Korea, and satiate Prototypedesign's whims for the rest of his life. He's frugal, so it's not too hard.

Getting your whole bunch of soldiers to Pakistan to kill the Israeli...
Being Haiti's foster country...

The 2 best ideas you could do with money in the US.

EDIT: Oh, had THE BEST idea ever; get a gigantic-super-powerful robot to take all the country and move it to Europe, that way, SpA can move next to Canada and I can get a better ping!

Lose Weight.

Stop invading countries and destroying nature reserves to drill or secure crude; short life span, fossil fuels (fossil implies that it takes a really really long time to make).

Give your nation free health care.

Give back some of it to the Native Americans.

Invest in Education.

And whatever Moose! says.

Well, to ACTUALLY answer it...
Fund education, especially high school since most drop outs occur there.
Stop fighting pointless wars
Less government spending and more backing up private businesses to stabilize the economy
Infrastructure (especially in rural areas and small towns)
CHANGE OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. TBH, the new Bill sucks. Fund the Health Care so we can actually do something to help
IE. Start researching cures to disease and new innovations of biochemistry and biomedical fields
Strengthen border control and immigration laws (without being pricks. Yes, I'm looking at you TSA)
Get better relationships with other nations. If a nuclear apocalypse does happen, we're screwed. (Fallout, anyone?)
Reduce the amount of money put into the development of large corporations

Now, those were my serious answers.
My other option...

Giant Death Robot, anyone?

Your country could invade more countries after lying that they have chemical weapons. They could open more illegal prisons like Guantanamo and torture prisoners they highjacked from other countries .They could use the money to inforce the worldwide censorship they started by fighting wikileaks.
Joining the group of worlds leading terrorist countries, playing in the same league like Iran or North Korea.

Do we have to account for "administration fees"? Because if so we only have 20,000,000,000 dollars to spend.

Seriously , Pete? Do you have a mouth or are you generally talking out of your ass?

The number one and only thing on your list should be to repair the fucking damage done by the oh so gloryful capitalistic national socialistic assholes who name themselves the (government of the) US of A! And please leave that to other ppl, that way the world actually has a chance someone will come and do good instead of creating more chaos with egocentrical assholes on top with quadrupal agendas!!!!
Man o man, figure the balls on a government like America to think they could spends 60 bill all on themselves... And yeah, having more troops in Afghanistan doesn't mean you put money in to helping the country. As usual, America comes raiding in for obvious other reasons, thousands of miles away from their country, to leave a chaotic gigantic fucking mess to be cleaned up by the ppl who actually do care!

P.S. I do know the government of the USA ain't the same as the country, that every person in that country is different and that generalising is dangerous and subjective. Just gimme a call whenever you feel like throwing stones to some politicians, I'd be happy to help you. Holland has lost his balls for doing that half a century ago.... :(

Education, from the bottom up. A good base school will make sure that people stay curious and will try to educate themselves at all time. Also try to even out the standards between different states schools.

Ahhhh so many good ideas! On a serious note, education is key, AND jobs. We need jobs. Our unemployment rate is atrocious! But the general populous of america is fairly stupid >_> (bucky, generalizations are key when insulting America) I know, its a "good" country to live in, being fair, and clean and all, but we're fucked. We're going to owe countries untill the day the earth dies. Our debt is almost at 14 trillion dollars! yay! Bush fucked us up. He also (in my opinion) began the "invade other countries for no reason" fad we have going on. There are so many things i could say about our country however, there is one picture involving Bush that, if you are unaware of George W. Bush, this is all you would need to know about him....

Restart all the series that were cut short due to the networks being utter cocksuckers

I.e. Arrested Development
Deadwood
Heroes
Studio 60 on sunset strip

Then with the rest, hire GOOD writers to make new shows.

Oh and make the NFL free to watch across the globe. Cheers!
