$700 Billion? "A really large number..."

[Jim O'Bryan]

Any idea where that number came from?

I heard a rumor last night and it was very troubling.

Also is the USA moving to fast? After being bailed out by the USA board members from AIG are trying to buy it back.

We thought Lehman was gone, when in fact assets have been purchased b y three companies.

Last night a conservative on CNN compared this to the beginning of the new socialist movement in France.

Again if anyone heard where the number came from, let me know.

"It's not based on any particular data point," a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. "We just wanted to choose a really large number."

This administration should be brought up on terrorism charges, among other things.
