   That's interesting. I guess that you by trillion actually is talking about 
billion (remember that I'm a metric guy) but just the same.

   The reason I ask is that the Swedish government "borrowed" 250 milliard 
(billion to you) SEK from our national pension funds in 1999, and they still 
haven't paid it back.
