Chump Change
Just to put things into perspective. If a printer turns out a one hundred dollar bill once every second, he'll print a million dollars in a little less than three hours. To print 700 billion, however, will take him 220 years. I think it was the late Sen. Everett Dirksen who once said, "a billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you're talking about real money."

Love the beautiful optimism of Messrs Harley & Bear! LOL
totally agree with Jean.
Sen. Everett Dirksen was said to be the greatest orator in the Senate. Hubert Humphrey said of him once that Dirksen had made the finest speech advocating isolationism Humphrey had ever heard on the floor of the senate; he also made the finest speech denouncing it.
