Not a bad idea at all, I like it.
Russell Crowe has an Oscar and is co-owner of the Sydney Rabbitohs rugby league team, but maybe his next job should be US treasury secretary.
The New Zealand-born actor announced, during a US TV talkshow appearance, a plan to cure America's financial crisis.
"I have been intently watching the political process," Crowe told talkshow host Jay Leno.
Crowe believes the US government should give each American $US1 million ($1.26 million).
His reasoning is the US has a population of about 300 million, so the $US300 million outlay is a fraction of the $US700 billion financial bailout package rejected by politicians in Washington DC yesterday.
"I was thinking," Crowe said.
"If they want to stimulate the economy and get people spending so they can look after their mortgage ... give everyone $1 million."
