That's what they're talking about. Anyone want to take bets that A) it ends up being twice that or more and B) the American taxpayer is going to foot the majority of that money?

Chilly Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 $610 billion. That's what they're talking about. Anyone want to take bets that A) it ends up being twice that or more and B) the American taxpayer is going to foot the majority of that money? 822053[/snapback] British economists are saying that it'll be a much, much larger proportion of the GDP if they wait to do something about it, rather then doing something about it now. The reason why they are talking about it like its "no big deal" is because its a helluva lot better then what they see as the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
