<< Make An Offer To Buy The U.S. Govt >>

Yes, and if you take the assets and subtract the debt, Microsoft could probably afford it.

Might have to allow the members of the Congress and Senate to give themselves a golden parachute first, but hey it still might be cheaper.

Reminds me of the story about the guy that phoned Amex to report his credit card was missing. They asked when it was lost ... He said 18 months ago ... They said why didn't you report it sooner ... He said because the thief was charging less than my wife!

Apologies in advance to the ladies.

Have a great evening.

John
