How Many Smart Cars Can You Buy For $700 Billion?

Assuming roughly $15k a piece you could buy 100 cars for $1.5 million. 1000 cars for $15 million. 10,000 cars for $150 million. 100,000 cars for $1.5 billion. 1,000,000 cars for 15 billion. 10,000,000 cars for $150 billion. That would be something like 50 million Smart Cars and I bet production costs would drop so you might be able to get closer to 100 million Smart Cars! Everybody can have a free Smart car!

How about that for a plan?

Lets see, there are only 1,000,000 Smarts so you could buy all of them and still have $685 Billion left in you wallet. Give or take a million.

None: The credit market in the USA is in melt-down and nobody saves money. Here, in Mexico, you have to pay cash for houses and cars; unless you absolutely don't need a loan, and who the heck wants to borrow at double digit interest rates anyway. So, Mexico won't melt down, it will just catch pneumonia as the US sneezes and wheezes.
