Eliminating the dollar bill will save 5.5 B over 30 years. In 20 years we won't be using currency probably 10 years. (If the US Dollar survives).
Changes at O'Hare will save 250k per year IN 10 years (Daley).

Palease they (No One) can predict out that far. Look at corporate America, 3 to 5 years tops.
Things change, government changes, law get undone, rewritten, added etc.
Why do they do this ?
Is it just sparkle, big numbers to sound good, thinking they can confuse the average citizen (they can't) ???
I don't think they should go total short sighted months or the year but predicting 30 years out ????

Its "politics as usual".
Its also the sort of thing that gave rise to the TEA Party.
Taxed
Enough
ALREADY
We are at ( or passing) the critical point. Continued "politics as Usual" will simple send us all into another Great Depression.
A move as simple as moving away from the USD as the Reserve Currency could be the tipping point. Our creditors need to see real action, not a few billion on the edges, or it may soon be over.
