Perspective: 200 Million Dollars [Vanity}
Vanity

Posted on 11/03/2010 12:06:11 PM PDT by facedodge

For me, it is difficult to picture the huge amounts of money that are discussed today in politics, so I was curious what does 200 Million Dollars worth of gold look like…

Gold

Today, Gold is valued at about $43,000 per kg

A standard gold bar as most people think of it, is 400 Troy Ounces, 12.5 kilograms, or 27 Pounds.

One bar cost about $575,000. With 200 Million dollars you could get over 350 Gold Bars. This is 350 Gold Bars. This is how much of your money Obama is willing to spend per day to have his wife visit "commercial sex workers".

PLUS

Elliot Spitzer would meet with commercial sex workers for half that amount.

Michelle Antoinette and the Emperor MUST be appeased. I believe they feel they are "owed" it by us taxpayers. Clever way of putting the cost in some more concrete format. My hat is off to you facedodge.
