Buddy, Can Ya’ Spare a Benjamin?

That’s the amount per person in the United States U.S. automakers asked for in a bailout hearing today on Capitol Hill. Actually, the $34 billion proposed automaker bailout works out to about $110 per person in the United States, just shy of $350 per family.

The AP reports that the bailout request was met with skepticism.
