The Relief Bill is Going to Save the Day

Posted on October 6, 2008, by Kim, under Politics.

I am a frequent reader of the site www.rightchange.com and it is very imformative.  I just found this on the site and it is really eye opening. 

Just how much is $700 billion??

  • It is almost $150 billion more than has been spent on the Iraq War since the invasion in 2003
  • It is equal to $2,300 payment for every person in the United States, and more than $100 for every person in the world
  • It is enough to buy 233,333 Super Bowl ads
  • It could build 400 space shuttles
  • It could purchase 3.5 billion iPhones
  • It could purchase 700 billion items from the dollar menu at McDonalds

I have a hard time believing that this bailout is really going to benefit anyone for the long haul.  This is a global issue…not just the responsibility of the current administration. 

On a much lighter note, I hear Barack Obama is a huge fan of nuts, especially Acorns!
