I can think of several better ways to spend ~$331,002,651.

1. Work on our infrastructure.
2. Improve the VA
3. Loans for Small Businesses

If you were in the service industry or any other position that was hourly and you don't get paid for time off, what would $1000 really do for you if your job was eliminated for any length of time. Sure it would be nice but would it really change anything? That's less than a weeks pay for many servers.
