Perspective

An Aircraft Carrier is approximately $6 billion. For the price of this bailout (assuming it stays at only 700 billion) we could have built about 116 aircraft carriers. Each of which could house about 5500 people. So added together we could haul over 600,000 people out in the middle of the Pacific where they can't hurt anyone. Hmmm, According to Wikipedia the population of Washington DC is 591,833.... I think you can see where I'm going with this idea...
