And the public will largely never know this because the <strike>Democrat Propaganda Machine</strike> Main Stream Media won't tell them. I've been heated in other posts at this blog, but I try to keep an open mind, since there is a lot I know I don't know about it. But the statement by a Treasury Dept. Spokeswoman that they effectively made up the the $700B number is very troubling indeed. I think I may be coming around to Floyd's position.
