Divide the estimated 8.5 trillion total by the current U.S population of people over 18 yrs.old. 120,000,000 (Census estimations from 2007) $8,500,000,000,000 / 120,000,000 people = $70, 833 and some change There is plenty of room to argue the accuracy of either of these numbers, but sufficice it to say, even half that return would be an extrordinary boost to any household. And the money flowing back into the economy would do more for the overall health of the national economy (not to mention morale) than giving it to corportions who have long lost our trust.
Use the money of poor people to bail out the banks.
A want becomes a demand when a threat is added to the mix. I.e. I want to borrow some money. Or Give me your money or I will…………….! In the 700 billion bail out it was I want 700 billion dollars to …………. When it was voted down it became, we have to have the 700 billion or this will happen…………! You might say this is not a threat, but when you put fear into people with unknowns or might be, it is a threat. They do not know what would happen so they use fear to get what they want. That is a threat. This makes a want become a demand.

You lose your money.
Bail.
Bail bond Surety bond. Bail
The bond money is only to ensure that the accused shows up for court. As long as the accused attends all their court appearances, it makes no difference whether they are found guilty or not, the person putting up the bond will have it returned to them. If the services of a bail bondsman are used, the only cost will be the fee for using their services (usually somewhere around 10% of the bail amount). However - if the defendant fails to make a court appearance the bond money is forfeited to the court. Bail is a fee that is paid to the courts to ensure that a person charged with a crime will return to be tried. If the accused does not return for trial, the bail money is forfeited. If the person returns for trial, the bail money is returned. So, it is in the interest of the one paying bail to ensure that the accused returns. That is where bail bonding companies come in. For a fractional amount of the bail, they will pay your bail up front. If you return for trial, all is well (they get their money back and keep your fee). If you don't, they send a bounty hunter to find you and collect the entire amount of the bail (and turn you over to the authorities for skipping bail). But a guilty finding has no effect on the bail payer. Otherwise, bail bonding companies would all go out of business very quickly. The same is true when an individual pays bail. If you pay someone else's bail and they are later found guilty of the crime, that has no effect on the bail payer. If the person returned for trial, the bail money would have been returned to you. If you pay their bail and they skip, you lose the bail money and will have to find the person to get it from them. If they are ultimately found and tried and found guilty, they will be sentenced for their crime (jail, fine, etc.). But the person who posts bail is not affected by the verdict in the criminal case. Paying bail for an ultimately guilty person is not a crime.
In order to become a bail bondsman you need to receive your bail bondsman license and take certain exams and need to be approved by the insurance department to be a recognized bail bondsman.
A bail bondsman has the same authority to carry a gun as any other private citizen. No more, no less.
Bail money is used to make sure someone shows up to court. If they show up their money is given back. If someone uses a bail bondsman they charge a percentage for covering the bond and they don't get any of the money back.
I doubt you will get bail at 2 strikes. I would worry more about how much jail/prison time. Three stikes and you are OUT.
