In Case You Forgot: 700,000,000,000. Lets examine that number...

700,000,000,000. I contend that it greatly exceeds our understanding. So, let's see if we can "create" this number, conceptually in our minds...

10. I can see 10 things. e.g. fingers, marbles, people, etc.
10 sets of 10 - get the picture in your mind - so now we have a picture of 100.
10 sets of 100 - stabilize the image of 100... and now 10 of those... we have 1000.
10 sets of 1000 - one thousand... ok, now 10 of those. ...number's getting a little big now...
10 sets of 10,000 - ok, the picture of 10 one thousands... and now 10 of those...

My image detail has now deteriorated - at 100,000. What I mean is, grasp of the size of 1 begins to fade when I try to actually visualize 100,000. I'm sure I could apply myself and go a bit higher; maybe 10 million at the most? The point is, we're nowhere near 700 billion. And this number (not to mention Trillions!) gets thrown around on the news like it's just another chunk of change. Sure, it's a big number, but we've dealt with big numbers before... yeah right.

A $700,000,000,000 bailout? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Someone is pulling your prick.
