Holy Crap. You ain't kidding.
According to the CIA World Factbook Egypt's GDP is approximately $500 billion. The Mubarak's are worth approximately $50-70 billion. If they and their cronies smell an islamic regime taking power and pull their money out of Egypt what would that be? $200 billion? The $12 billion a year that comes in from tourism is gone. Rising food prices drive down everyone's purchasing power. The government already has $400 billion in debt (according to CIA). They can't print that much money. No one can afford to give them that much aid.
