The "Imperial" Billion was indeed 10 raised to the power 12, not the American power of 9,
it is an example of American love of exaggeration, which in recent months had led to the
"recession we had to have". The quicker we adopt the Euro as the internation currency
the quicker we can see the problem of the American $ properly devalued and their debt
pushed home to roost, and we can get back to normality - just got a very old memory -
