$700 Billion US Bailout Plan

Views

"It's not based on any particular data point, we just wanted to choose a really large number." — a Treasury Department spokeswoman explaining how the $700 billion number was chosen for the initial bailout, quoted on Forbes.com Sept. 23, 2009.

Well, no comment on this statement from my side. So “funny”!
