Do you ever wonder what it must be like to sit in on the meetings when central planners plan? Especially when they are told money is no object.
By the way, $43B didn't seem like that much!! It would have boggled my mind 6 months ago. When I was a kid I would pick up a penny if I saw it, today it takes being silver colored. I don't know what gives now that M's and even B's are rounding errors for central planners given access to the T's.
