Hi Ilaine, Re: "I double checked, and $600 billion is 00.05% of $13 trillion."

Clearly you made the same mistake twice. The figure is a bit under 5%.

Along these lines, the US was supposed to have learned its lesson about not getting involved in "land wars in Asia" something like 50 years ago, but they appear to keep making the same mistake.

600B/13T = 0.05 = 5% which is two orders of magnitude greater than 0.05%.
