    Fuzzy Math

    Slightly off topic, though not really in the grand scheme of things, we have Bernard Madoff allegedly defrauding investors to the tune of $50 billion. $50 billion.

    For the 35,000 to be laid off from B of A that would come to $1.43 million each.

    For the approx. 575k that are unemployed, that comes to $86,956. One man's greed could give a living wage to the unemployed for a year. Just imagine multiplying that by all the greedy m-fers out there who squandered, swindled, lied, and cheated their way into billions of dollars. It's enough to make one violently sick. Or sickly violent.
