So when you punch in 10% of 2.5 tril on your calculator, what do you get?

Now, knowing that, which is it? A 10% or 1% drop?

Lying bastards think we're stoopid.

Thanks for the tip, I sent a note, too:

Hey, Vince,

You might want to check your sources ability to shift decimals and calculate percentage.
Was it a 10% drop of 250 billion or a 1% drop of ~25 billion?
We're talking orders of magnitude, here, not quibbling about pennies.
