Medical research. Probably help develop new treatments for Malaria as well seeing as it is the deadliest disease and medicines that formerly protected, and saved people, have lost their effectiveness. Heart disease treatment/prevention would be another field I would help finance.

1. Buy a few spare Russian nukes and tell everyone in all the Islamic countries that they have exactly 365 days to identify and eradicate the radical Islamists.

When the 365th day comes, wait until a car bomb goes off or other terrorist activity happens, that kills Americans, and nuke (1) the country of origin of the terrorist, and (2) the country where he currently resides.

2. Tell all the African warlords that there will be free and fair elections on January 1 of 2009, and if they attempt even a single act of coersion they will be strung up on a stand in downtown, have their skin cheese-grated off, and then be doused in a mixture of Comet and bleach.

3. Buy 100 million condoms, make them free to everyone in Africa, and then tell them, in a massive advertising campaign, that money for AIDS drugs and AIDS healthcare is being shutoff for anyone not HIV positive and in the program at this time. If you get AIDS frmo today on, screw you. It's your fault and you don't deserve any of society's money or pity. Establish a leper colony in Greenland or Iceland for those with AIDS so they can't spread it to the rest of us.

4. Investigate and publicize the real skinny surrounding the death of Vince Foster.

5. Spend at least 1 billion on my college (The University of Texas), mostly on football. Double deck the rest of the football stadium, build a premier new 200 million dollar baseball stadium (named after me of course), and give grants to anyone who swore undying allegiance to the burnt orange and white, but who just couldn't afford to go to school without my money...

6. Buy fabulous houses in:

Napa Valley, specifically Yountville
Italian coast
Switzerland (probably Basel)
Scotland (I'm guessing the top two floors of the condos overlooking the 18th at St. Andrew's)
Manhattan, probably overlooking Central Park
Beaver Creek
Something in Phil Mickelson's neighborhood in Scottsdale.

7. Buy the island of Barbaretta off the coast of Honduras. Build a power plant, staff it, and build the home from hell. Buy a small military to protect it.

8. Buy Greg Norman's old yacht so I wouldn't have to spend much time at any of those places.

9. Own more of the world's great wines than I could ever drink.

10. A Rolex in every color to match the one and only one Submariner I already own.

11. Contemplate a used Space Shuttle, but probably settle for some kind of moon base. Yes, I'd make sure I had a retreat on the moon. I think I could get one, a damned good oen that would support me forever, for no more than 250 billion.

12. Hire a harem of insanely hot bi-sexual big-tittied women who would pleasure me and each other in all manner of sick and unimaginable ways, at my whim, and drag them around the globe (or off it) with me at all times.

13. Buy the Houston Texans and turn them into a winner.

14. Hire a cloning team so I could have replacement parts like they did in the movie "The Island".

15. Have Carrot Top killed.

Put it in a bank and let it grow a lot. Eventually I can have 3 trillion for myself, 3 trillion for developing nations, 3 trillion for AIDS research, 3 trillion for cancer research, 3 trillion for other medicinal research, 3 trillion for space research (I bet that gets blown through in 2 days), and 3 trillion for Africa. I place Africa away from developing nations because frankly it's a whole different ballpark/shit storm.

Now then, what would I do with my share of the cash...



FUCK I hit "Starving people in africa" instead of "Other." Subtract and add 1 vote accordingly when you read the results

I would fund a private army to over-throw the united States government and replace it with a strict Constitutionalist group. There would be a one term rule.

The gallows would operate 24 hours a day until I had purged all who did not believe in border security.


And I'd buy a new motorcycle.

2) Hire a marachi band - I need a soundtrack for my life
3) Buy the trademark and registered symbols and live off the royalties

Since this is really a question referring to what the US should do with it's money, I null voted as the poll is too simplistic.

I would do a Mohammad Yunus stunt lending Africans the money to straighten up their continent by them self, they have the resourses to do it, they just lack the competance .....

Then i would hire a mariachi band (tnx pug)

Would also buy a scooter to drive to work instead of my company car ....

And finally i would hire Al Gore and ATG to hold a debate about global warming issues

Would certainly start my own charity, spend on others, my family and a bit on myself. Honestly, I'd keep quite a bit of it and pass it down the family.

You would never take me alive.

edit: I believe in border security, I just don't think building a damn fence is the way to go.

I would keep a million to spend it in a few things (a couple of Porsches and Lambos), would put 999 million in a bank working for me, and the rest I would distribute this way:
-499 billion to my country.
-500 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative.
You could also fund an Argentine expeditionary Force to go to the Falkland isles so we could kick Argy arse again!!! J/K.

I don't really care about those islands.  Besides, you should show some respect for the 900 people who died in the war from both sides.
