$700,000,000,000 is 700,000 million dollar bills or 7 billion hundred dollar bills or 35 billion twenties. Beyond comprehension of most Americans and most certainly exceeding the cognitive quantitative abilities of some 220 something members of the lower house of Congress. Simple math indicates that each of the 114,384,000 U.S. households would be on the hook for $6,120, and each of the estimated 305,298,628 Americans would owe $2,300. Like anybody who's been robbed, we need to just absorb our losses and take precautions to make sure it doesn't happen again. What else can we do? Organize a posse? Perhaps. But most of us need the capital freed up so that we may continue mind our shops while the posse chases the Wall Street bandits across the badlands. Plain, Simple, Common Sense. Sorry Captain Leo, but no other words would do.
