Billion dollars a day

Let's say you were given $1 billion every day. You could decide what to use it for? What would it be?


By the way, this is roughly what the US military gets...

Re: Billion dollars a day

well in six days you could give every one $1 so you might get something like $60 a year to every person... kinda useless! So I would pour it into things like cancer research, then space exploration! Eventually build myself a big space ship and retire in the cosmos - I dont care if I dont even make it past mars, would just be cool to be in a massive space ship flying around

Alternative fuel research with the purpose of liberating us from fossil fuel dependence. This program would create many new and good paying jobs, not to mention the overall increase in homeland security beneficial to every American...............Infy
