I saw this on my home page “quote of the day” widget and thought it was worth sharing:
“There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it’s only a hundred billion. It’s less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
– Richard Feynman”
Our debt was already a big monster in the closet; what will it turn into now with the events of the last 10 days?
