ABC News: AIG Price Tag: $1,400 per Taxpayer Family:

"The government's newly overhauled rescue package for AIG is $162.5 billion, according to government officials. Divide that by 111,609,629 -- the total number of U.S. households, according to the U.S. Census' 2005-2007 American Community Survey -- and the result is $1,455.97. That's nearly double the maximum tax benefit U.S. couples will receive under the federal stimulus package approved last month.

'I think the average American taxpayer should feel like they were cheated by AIG's managers and by the people who engineered this bailout scheme in the first place,' said Eli Lehrer, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a libertarian Washington, D.C., think tank."
