What would you do with $700 Billion?
UandIblog: I'd get a crew of volunteers together and torch the The World Bank & The International Monetary Fund.. just burn it to the ground. That might cost a couple hundred grand tops. With them out of the way it would be easy to implement a true Meritocracy in all governments. Presidents will get a paycheck on a sliding scale, the more wealth they are responsible for creating for their people, the better off they will do personally. I'd then use crowdsourcing to dictate what investments were made with the remaining 699 1/2 billion. We would then use the interest created by the these investments to fund all of the projects previously mentioned by the HackerNews Community.edit I'd make sure all of the employee's were out of the buildings, of course...
