$426 billion is half the world's wealth?

They're talking about the bottom half of the population I guess people that have no net worth

[dont-blameme]

In today's sour economy world wide it very well could be~! There a lot of governments printing money with nothing to back it up, like the obama regime~!

Take them all together and they could put but a small dent in the US federal debt, or maybe one year's worth of US deficit spending.
