Money and questions

Today's headlines read that the Government will be investing, or giving as support, £100billion to the UK banking system.

There are only 60 million in the population - and here come the questions ...

What would happen if the Government saved £40 billion and gave each person in the UK £1billion?

How many people would pay off their mortgage?

What would happen to house prices and the housing market?

How many people would give up work?

How many people would use some of their money to invest in life saving projects in Peru, or Malawi, or ... ?

If everyone was a billionaire, would this stop the rat race of measuring self worth by piling up possessions?

Would people devote themselves to the arts? To study? To engineering and medicine for the benefit of our community?

I really don't know the answers, but it would be different and would create a different economic climate and structure, and we really need one of those.
