Even if we use the higher of the two numbers <br /><br />$738 billion / 50 million = $14760<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816559531110064247.post-55944686054172006762014-03-04T13:51:45.561-08:002014-03-04T13:51:45.561-08:00Hey Anonymous:

Part of Ukraine is now owned by Russia. We didn't want it in the first place. <br /><br />Also, come on Cuba. Please invade Puerto Rico and take it. And if you want more, we got Detroit, California, and New York City waiting for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
