before Bush leaves office
If you assume they only work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week (instead of 24/7), they've got to spend over $11 million a minute during the work day
8 hours a day, 5 days a week: nearly $17 million a minute
Translation: They plan to buy bad mortgages just as fast as the fax pages come in

Yet, as one DUer has noted, many social programs are getting their funds slashed or they are just canceled. I wonder what $700,000,000,000 would do for Social Security?
