This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day (except for weekends) to lucky readers until we run out of stuff or companies stop sending things. Today we've got an Altec Lansing octiv Air (a "wireless 80 watt wall of sound for your iPod") on offer. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff!
Big thanks to Altec Lansing for providing the gear!

Big thanks to Altec Lansing for providing the gear!
The rules:
- Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.
- You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
- If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
- Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
- Winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one (1) Altec Lansing octiv Air. Retail value approximately $399.
- If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.

Here you go, The following is Obama's loop for fixing the us economy. Unfortunately you will find that if you run this formula in almost any situation you will end up bankrupting yourself and the government... But hay free money is good even when its worth nothing right?
while($debt > 0)
{
$debt = $debt - $money_from_obama;
$national_debt = $national_debt + $money_from_obama;
$value_of_dollar = $dollars_in_circulation / ($dollars_in_circulation + $money_from_obama) * $current_value;
$dollars_in_circulation = $dollars_in_circulation + $money_from_obama;
$debt = $debt + $imports / $value_of_dollar;
}
