[GPSCC-chat] seen in Mountain View

[Brian Good]

   For perspective on the $14 trillion debt, compare it to an annual $15 GDP
for the USA.  The global GDP is about $60 trillion.  

   According to a BBC doco about the financial crisis, the magnitude of the 
funny money derivatives that caused the financial crisis was $450 trillion.
This number is validated in a Reuters article here:

   Management fees and commissions for the perpetrators of the scam were
of course paid in real money.
