Here's something to help you all visualize the number 700 billion from the Sun Sentinel in Florida with some added notes from yours truly.


What Does $700 Billion Actually Buy?
It is tough to wrap your brain around how much money it is, so we've tried to put things in perspective for you. (All figures are estimates)

You could buy 21 new Marlins Stadiums for EACH COUNTY in the state of Florida

You could buy braces for everyone in Great Britain.....and France! (Hummm dental work for the Brits that's a lofty goal.)

You could buy all 32 NFL teams - 27 times. (someone buy the Lions! Please?!?)

2 cups of Starbucks every day for a year for every person in Brazil

Gasoline for a year for every adult in America. (175 billion gallons of gas)

You could literally buy the world a Coke. One 2-liter bottle per week for a year.

You could buy a 60-inch HDTV for every man, woman and child in the U.S. (I'll take one please)

Sounds like Monopoly money? It should. You could buy 10 Monopoly games for each of the 6.7 billion human beings on planet earth.

You could buy 7 Mac laptops for every school-age child in U.S.

Rolex watches – you could buy 1 for every woman in the U.S.

You could buy everyone in America 2200 McDonalds apple pies.(no thank you)

Disney tickets – 18 (3-day) passes to Disney for the entire U.S. population

So, when congress passes the bail-out will they be headed to Disney world?

haha The girls are hard to miss aren't they?

I keep the picture because I am amused by peoples reactions to it. My best gf took it after we'd both bought corsets at a ren fair.
