With the new monetary influx provided by new altruism-poster boy Warren Buffet, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation now is (or will be, once they get all the money) rolling in it; so much so that, if the foundation were a country, it would have a larger GDP than 70% of the world's countries. And if it were a state? It would be as much of an economic powerhouse as Nebraska.
When you finish pondering that, ponder this: This means that Nebraska has a GDP larger than 70% of the countries in the world. Nebraska must have a smaller GDP than many other states in America. This is to say that, we're doing pretty well. And yet, we're up to our eyeballs in national debt. Ponder that one.
