"...an astonishing $105.3G was doled out to various banking and municipal customers. All told in this initial period, the biggest recipient, Goldman Sachs, got $12.9G; Societe Generale, $11.9G; Deutsche Bank, $11.8G; and Barclays, $8.5G. The financial crisis was, in this way, a shuttling of enormous amounts of treasure out of the pockets of ordinary [USA citizens] and into the accounts of companies that had a hand in the melt-down." --- Bob Benmosche, Peter Marks & Valerie Handy 2016 _Good for the Money: My Fight to Pay Back the USA_ pp118-119

Proposed Bills 2017

"[In the USA] earnings can't rise. The lack of domestic savings is holding investment down, and the rapid move toward out-sourcing [including cross-border bodyshopping] and off-shoring, along with technology-driven productivity gains, is restraining all but executive wages and salaries... One [problematic factor] is the rapid off-shoring of US manufacturing, software, and services, and the other is the likely continued decline of US savings, as the federal budget deficit widens under the impact of rising [socialist insecurity] and health insurance obligations. [So, full recovery would requirements include curbs on guest-work visas, reductions in out-sourcing & off-shoring, increase in corporate investments in training & relocation of USA citizen employees, increase in recruiting from within the USA, increase in savings by reducing transaction costs and financial firms' fees.]" --- Clyde V. Prestowitz 2005 _3G New Capitalists_ pp168-169

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.
