37B and what do u get?
Jun 26, 2006 @ 18:53
Mr Buffet offered yesterday a whoping $37 B, the largest single donation in history, to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Why all the fuss? Because as a Times article points out if u compare today's budget at the UN for culture and education with the same department at Bill's foundation it pales a mere $600 some odd million to $l.5 B and with Mr Buffet pronounced 'boooofay' (but i suppose that's a snap for GOLers) assets that sum is likely to double! What me worry. I don't work at the UN. But if i did, maybe i would. What do u think?
