It's LARGE all right!

Forbes has been hard at work reporting on the Paulson bailout plan. Here is a very interesting article. One piece of complete idiocy jumps off the page. When questioned about the origin of the $700 billion figure, a Treasury spokesperson said:
"It's not based on any particular data point. We just wanted to choose a really large number."
AAAAAHHHHH! Throw them all out.
