Their GDP is on the order of $50B, so $12B/month is freakin amazing. $1B/month is still stellar, but can you imagine the US economy having $40T/year of non-inflatable currency injected? Gad, what would we do with all that loot? In about three months they could own the silicon fab market (leading edge 45nm 300mm fabs at $3B/each, they'ed have 12 of them, yikes!) well, they'ed own it in about 1-2 years since it does take awhile to build & ramp. They could also own the worlds solar production business for a few months of that. Heck, they could most likely turn the desert into well watered ag land using desalination with cash like this.
