Well, you could buy a 737 with it but with fuel prices these days you'd still be broke pretty soon.

1. It is a shitload of money. And it bothers me.

3. What we should be asking
Remember how people destroyed John Edwards because he wasn't a "man of the people" for his fancy house and expensive haircuts? What's good for Edwards is good for the Clintons. They officially belong to the top 1% of Americans benefitting from the Bush tax cuts. How can they best represent Middle Americans when they're nowhere near our income bracket?

6. It's more than 95% of the country
or 99% of the world has. And if any of it was gotten because people expected favoritism from Hillary when she got in the White House, then we deserve to know.

7. No, it isn't.
compared to Bill Gates and the CEO of Exxon, the Clintons are practically paupers.
How can anyone be expected to make do on a mere 100 mil when Exxon is raking in the billions?

I think we should help the Clintons out with another nice round of Bush tax cuts.
You know, help them get back on their feet. :eyes:
