Instead of propping up banks for $700 billions, we can maybe, buyout a country.

We can use $700 billions to buy out a country. Randomly assigning 10x GDP for political stable countries and 3-5x GDP for political unstable countries. $700 billions can be use to buy out countries with $70 billion GDP or less:

A lot of African countries and Caribbean Islands can be bought with $700 billions.

What else can we do with $700 billions:

We can establish 10-20 "Ivy League/Well-Established" universities each with endowment fund of $10-30 billions.

Give back taxpayers their money - each of us will get ~$2000 back.

Buy 5,000 F-22s Fighter Jets at $138 millions a piece.

Buy ~200 billions $3 Big Macs from Mickey Ds.

Buy 3.5 millions Ferrari F430s at $200k a piece. Or buy 3.5 millions houses at $200k a piece (avg house price).

Buy 2.8 billions Nintendo Wii - the world would be a happier place.

Pay back 8% of national debt.

Buy 7 billions barrel of oil at $100 a piece. At current consumption rate of ~9 million barrels a day, we can last two years.

Buy up JP Morgan, Citigroup and Bank of America and still have money left.
