RE: what would you do with 700 billion dollars ?
chill some questions for you to ponder. I don't know what the answers may be in your case, but people should reflect on these when thinking about the bailout:

Taking into account schooling, services, whatever bracket you are in ... at the end of the day are you really a tax contributor or do you benefit from the system?

In the last decade did you or many around you benefit from the abundance of easy money/credit in the system? Cars, cell phones, student loans, easy credit cards, easy jobs, HOMES, etc.

I am a tax contributor. Adding up federal, State and sales tax puts me close to the 50% bracket with I find almost criminal.

As for the $700 Billion?

I would mostly invest it. Donate to some select charities and political causes.

Shutter your MacMansion - sell at 'fire sale' prices' they will go lower. Apply for residence/citizenship of another country that does not only value the gambler/speculator and the politics is not so riddled with corruption. You will be joining millions others - welcome to mankind after leaving USA kind - the greedy, stupid people of the USA who rejoice when other people hate them.
