I'd prefer to see the government take even half the amount of money and offer lots of smaller grants/loans to innovative entrepreneurs to launch our country into the next wave of growth. That's where the new jobs and economic growth will be. Give it to people creating value.
Do you have any idea how many such programs already exist? They all end up funding catfish farming research programs in Robert Byrd's territory. You seem a bit naive of the real function of cheap/free government money.
