^ not a bribe, attempt at Universal Basic Income
from what google said, there's 325.7 million in the US in 2017. so for a year that would be $3,908,400,000,000
unfortunately i don't think the US had that kind of money given the $15.8 trillion debt

If we could only spend money we have, we wouldn't have trillions of dollars in debt
An additional $4 trillion annual deficit is probably excessive, but secondary effects of that policy may make it more reasonable than it looks
Also, it should be less than that because some categories of people wouldn't get money, mainly dependents
Actually, the article says 18-24. As of the 2010 census, that was 194.3 million people

“That guy was casually brushing teeth when I pointed out that he’d run over and crushed creosote and cactus,” Abbott told the LA Times. “He just flipped me off.”

@GodEmperorDune Agreed, they're treasures and people are just going to have to wait. It's not like this is a new phenomenon. At a place I hiked near Lake Tahoe they even had one of those giant placard informational sign things that was like "Behind you you can see the trail's path. The dirt line ahead of you is where people have commonly gone off the trail. We were forced to reroute the trail to halt this activity. The land will take about 200 years to heal this scar."
 
GodEmperorDune

@puzzlepiece87 ouch
i have a feeling that people were pissed the national parks were not left open during the last shutdown, so they figured that leaving the parks open during this shutdown would lower public pressure to end the shutdown
and in true trumpian fashion, they didn't think or care about the logical ramifications of that, like toilets and trash overflowing or people going wild in the parks
