Mike,
I don't know about GDP, and here is the nominal GNP figure, and only 7 countries made the list, maybe incomplete, but not too much. And every thing here in the US is Gigantic. hehe. I guess so does the Writeoffs.

country Total GNP (Nominal) in Billions of US$
U.S. $10,079
Japan $4,823
Germany $1,861
Britain $1,428
France $1,299
China $1,086
Italy $1,072
* The data is as current as Nov. 2001

I got these figures from Asiaweek, which is also a victim of downsizing by Time/Warner.

And BTW, here is an estimate for the world GDP:
Total World Real GDP
(Billions of 1990 International Dollars)
Year Preferred Ex-Nordhaus
2000 $41,017 $38,282

Its mostly not the same as Whitewater because in Whitewater there were at the very least credible allegations of direct illegal activities by the Clintons. Even this article doesn't allege any such illegal activity. It just says that this will "show how business gets done in Texas".

I haven't figured out how many countries have GDP
under a Trillion.


According to
geohive.com only 10 countries have a GDP of a Trillion or more. And the Trillion dollars of writeoffs would be more then the GDPs of Argentina and Australia combined.

Edit - figures use purchasing power parity GDP, not nominal GDP.
