    Investment. That means they are putting money in and expecting to make a profit. They will dump $100 million billion in the U.S. and we’ll have to pay them back… with interest. In other words, we’ll get $100 million billion worth of infrastructure, or something, and end up paying $200 million billion or more for it with our taxes. No matter what the Republicans say, privatization is never a good thing.

    Edit: Oops! Meant to say billion but my fingers were working faster than my brain.

      100 Billion

      Softbank is a well known super investment operation from Hong Kong. They don’t lay out money for grifters unless, of course, it would make them even more money.

        Thanks for the correction. And yes, no one is investing that kind of money unless they are certain they will be getting a substantial return on investment.

      Isn’t that what they’ve been doing in Africa?
