We read about impending global financial meltdown in the headlines and how members of the US government are seeking to prop up a plummeting Wall Street with $700 Billion in taxpayer funds. But what does 700 Billion Dollars look like, exactly? It's such a large abstract number that we can't conceive of it's vastness. I certainly couldn't, so I decide to put it in some perspective. What's the price of bailing out what some feel is a deeply flawed and greedy system? ( Edited by wilmod7 )
