I'd be happy with

175,000,000,000 / 342,000,000.

Works out to around $512 per person for every man, woman, child ( citizen, immigrant, other ) in the USA.

oh, and a repeal of the "big beautiful, bill POS".

The economic stimulus would make up for the unfair distribution ( I'm pretty sure I paid waaay more than $500 in 2025 for tariff imposed excess costs... just in the home computer systems I purchased ). But that's fine, I'm sure there are many small businesses that ate it way more than I did.
