No $700 billion handout to Wall Street

September 25, 2008

You want to know how much $700 billion is? For every day in the life of a 100-year-old person, it’s $19.2 million — a little more than the cost of the 14,670-acre Follensby Pond property but less than the stalled Lake Placid Conference Center

Proof of how people here pull together

September 19, 2008
