fccool Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aGq2B3XeGKok&refer=home Just to quote a paragraph here: Quote: The $9.7 trillion in pledges would be enough to send a $1,430 check to every man, woman and child alive in the world. It’s 13 times what the U.S. has spent so far on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Congressional Budget Office data, and is almost enough to pay off every home mortgage loan in the U.S., calculated at $10.5 trillion by the Federal Reserve.
