What's a Couple of Billion here & there, right?

In today's industry news: "The Federal Housing Finance Agency Thursday morning released new estimates on the ultimate cost of bailing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, cutting its worst case scenario projection to $311 billion from $363 billion.... " Sorta like it's nothing!

Ya know, it's almost like these guys have lost all perspective on what a Million dollars is - BTW it's a 9" high stack of $1,000 bills vs. a Billion dollars which comes in at the height of the Empire State Building! It's almost always accounting tricks anyway.
