second of all, say it is 23 million....if everyone had $23m, and everyone quit their job, then no, they would not keep buying stuff...because there would be nothing to buy! How are you going to buy a new car or a new house when the people who make that car and house have quit their job?

Then we have an issue of inflation. That new car that cost $20,000 would cost close to a million, then if everyone quit their job and production stopped, supply would go way down as demand increases, meaning that Ford Escort could cost upwards of that $23 million you just got from the government.
I wouldnt quit my job....

If everyone all of a sudden got 23 million, do you think that prices wouldnt go up to try to get as much out of people as they can? Suddenly a 20K car, would be a 200K car...... I have no doubts the costs of things WOULD go up if everyone were suddenly 23M richer.... even 2.3 million.....
