Making sense of $700 billion

Congress recently passed a $700 Billion bailout/rescue plan to address the tightening credit markets. This number is so large, it's really hard to make sense of. We have lots of bright, mathematically-minded readers, so I want to know: How do you make sense of such a monstrous number?

At the joint math meetings this year, the YMN Town Meeting started off with a rousing song. As requested, I'm posting it to the site. Board members should study up so we can all perform it together next year!

Hi there, I am a young working professional with a BS in math, getting ready to start graduate school in math. I am looking for a journal to subscribe to as my employer will reimburse it and since I am traveling a lot, I would like to have a print copy. Any suggestions on a journal that would cover enough in-depth for someone with advanced undergraduate math experience, but be general enough to cover a wide variety of topics for a mathematician that is not sure what area to specialize in?

After reading through the comments posted on Anonymous Hero's story, I decided I should probably update my previous post.

Thanks to Math Forge, and some other internet sources, the Math grad podcast came to my attention.
A brief way to introduce mathematics to non-mathematicians and a quick way to review some interesting mathematics for those who are mathematically-inclinded.

I am independently studying for grad school while at college. The following list outlines my study plan for the next several years (the books are listed in the order they will be studied in.) It would help me a good deal if anyone could tell me, for example, whether or not I should study the books in the order I have laid out, whether I should add/delete certain books, etc.- up until now I have had to rely on information gathered from amazon.com:
- Algebra (Lang)
- Introduction to Lie Algebras and Representation Theory (Humphreys)
- Commutative Algebra (Eisenbud)
- Algebraic Geometry (Hartshorne)
- Topology (Munkres)
- Algebraic Topology (Spanier)
- Principles of Mathematical Analysis (Rudin)
- Real and Complex Analysis (Rudin)
- Complex Analysis (Ahlfors)
- Functional Analysis (Lax)
- A Course in the Theory of Groups (Robinson)
- Ring Theory (Rowen)
- A Course in Arithmetic (Serre)
- Algebraic Number Theory (Neukirch)
- P-adic Numbers, p-adic Analysis, and Zeta-Functions (Koblitz)
- A First Course in Modular Forms (Diamond)
- Basic Number Theory (Weil)
- Class Field Theory (Gras)
*Note: I have already studied Lang's "Undergraduate Algebra" and Lax's "Linear Algebra".
