Why $800B leeserves is not enuf? Let me educate you: becuase Italy the next flash point, owes Deutsche Bank and friends Euro 1.3 TRILLION (1 followed by 12 zeroes, in Euros not toiler paper US$), you are approx 50% short even if LKY agrees in his bed to sacrifice his family leeserves to elect your botak head to become IMF chief.
