#5 What's a billion $ now, nothing.
The Fed prints $85Billion a month for Wall St. to put in their crack pipe. Why not give the Paks a Trillion, and a Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier?
Now THAT would be headline material!

Lord knows, there's nothing that we could do with $1.6 Billion here in the States. Probably just sit in a Govt "Trust Fund" somewhere gathering ~~interest~~ dust.
