Ooops. As it turns out, my math is NOT right. It's far too low a figure. According to Reuters and CNET, the cost is more like $17,064 per household: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10049551-38.html Are you angry yet? Ready to kick a little CEO and Republican ass yet?

My proposed 20-year sentences were based on the $2,333 per American figure. Given the new, higher figure, we should probably up that to 40 years in prison, without the possibility of parole or K-Y.
