    Would the State of Florida be worth (US)$700B ??

    Maybe Paulson will just sell off a state or two to pay for this latest scam, preferably something with coastal development rights...like Alaska and Florida.

    Come to think of it, couldn't Paulson sell off the assets if this bill passes as it is currently written? A couple of oil sheiks could take care of this little problem by tomorrow night (actually by tomorrow morning - it's nighttime there now!!) if Congress would only stop talking about it and just give CheneyBush what they want.
