3. Even the media makes that mistake. Of course they do it on purpose.

5. And I am obsessive about what $750 billion is.
Funny part is that I keep saying people don't realize how much money that is.
$750,000,000,000 can buy Seven million five hundred thousand BMW M6 Convertibles. An eighty thousand dollar house for every four people in the State of California. Seven million five hundred thousand homes that cost a hundred thousand dollars. That is how they should have defined $750,000,000,000. Then maybe people would have said....wait a minut
