some notes, the 2Bil may be misinformation, but I will instead ignore that and just use the subsidies to the oil industry.
We could give every single human living in the US (even babies) that $1500 and it would be 130b cheaper than oil subsidies according to forbes.
We could give every household in the US (127,482,865 according to US census) $5,100 for what we spend on oil subsidies yearly.
Please note those numbers are from 2015 so its likely much higher now, but a quick google didn't give me exact numbers for the US and I'm too lazy to go into that. (it would likely be closer to $7000 per household)
