I'd spend the bulk of it on solving the issues described above.
The problems -
1. The bailouts went to Wall Street, not to Main Street.
2. Wall Street is Washington, Washington is Wall Street.
3. The Federal Reserve banks on trickledown.
4. Washington fails to create enough jobs.
5. Government goes on a job-killing spree.
6. The big banks have become even bigger criminal conspiracies.
7. Hedge funds run wild.
8. The rise of the Ayn Rand Right.
9. The silencing of Occupy Wall Street.
The solutions -
The Robin Hood Tax
Public State Banks
Along with these, I'd spend the rest of it on solving global warming, implementing standarized national health care for all Americans, and pursuing an agenda based on world peace and enlightenment; the first issue being getting Israelis and Palestinians to settle their differences once and for all.
Of course, none of those are new.
What would YOU do with $5.6 trillion USD?
