What the new stimulus package could buy

... According to the Boston Globe.

My faves:
1. More than 222 billion Big Macs
2. Pay off all US student debt
3. Mitt Romney's Utah ski home - more than 149,000 times over
4. 1,760 Celtics teams
5. Cover money lost in Madoff's scheme - 16 times over
6. Pay the salary of Massachusetts' top-paid worker for the next 1,283,713 years

What would you spend $787 billion on?

All US student loan debt
51.5%
Other
21.8%
11 years of salary for every elementary school teacher
15.1%
222 billion Big Macs
8.6%
45 million Pontiac G5s
2.5%
19.6 billion digital TV converter coupons
0.3%
