there's an article on yahoo's front page today on exactly how much 700,000,000,000 dollars actually is.
it's scary...and amazing...and ridiculous. the greed of X number of men is going to cost the everyday bloke either way. 700 billion up front, or in the economic crisis.
maybe it's cuz i'm poor, but i'll take my chances with the back end.
