    Hi guys,
    A lot has been said about this bail out proposal. A lot of heated arguments, etc. Since I don't live in the U.S., I'm not in a position to judge anyone or comment on this issue, as I don't have any authentic information. So, here is an interesting link. Just a cheeky thought - What would 700 billion dollars buy?

    Take a look. :)

    It probably won't buy enough of the mortgages that it needs to.

    I wonder how many years of rent and health care it could provide for all the homeless vets in the US?
