<GDP is the market value of all goods and services produced in the US of A in a given year. It is NOT the amount of disposable income we have.> Correct. That's my understanding too. Compared with all the goods and services produced in the USA, per capita, $1000 a year isn't a big deal. Much of said goods and services are for useless things, or even harmful things [like too much food, tobacco, huge SUVs]. There is also vast waste. So, it would be easy to reduce consumption of the useless and harmful things and make the $1000 payments. Mqurice
