I cant fathom spending a billion on anything, so maybe its just me but those figures as I read down the list seemed exageraited. then i got to this one.
17,000,000,000 / 83,000 = $204,819.27 a head.
if they are saying 83 thousand jobs were lost worth 17bil in wages (I assume anually)… sign me up for one of those replacment jobs! No way the ave wage was 204K for 83,000 positions!
unless i am reading it wrong.
