I didn't read it. 6 mill doesn't seem like enough. I know 6 mil is a barely perceivable part of Cali's debt.

It might take a couple of percent off of their debt

0.000016 % of their debt.

$6,000,000 is only 0.000016 percent of California's $375,000,000,000 debt.

And this is why scientific notation is handy: 6X106 < 3.75X1011 by so fucking much!

Wow Lloyd, how come you didn't catch my percent mistake?  $6 million is 0.0016 percent of $375 billion.
There goes my job as Mr. Math Guy  :P... but now I can work for the global warming people... also  :P
