We see so many numbers tossed around - costs of war, costs of bailouts, annual revenue of multi-nationals, etc. So many numbers that I think most people don't really realize how huge a number $700 billion dollars really is.

I am not a numbers guy by any means, but I have an odd interest in numbers and figuring out how they relate.

So I took this huge $700 billion dollar number and started putting it into context in a way that average joe on the street could relate.

The title of this diary is the a quote from Bush I just saw a few minutes ago in an AP article on Yahoo.

The full article is here.

This is my first diary, and as much as I have to say at times, I often do not feel what I have to say merits it's own diary, but even just the title of this article made my blood boil.
