#6 OK, $374 million sounds like a lot of money, but you've got to remember that the actual "throughput" to refugees after UN administrative costs would be about $37.40, probably in the form of an autographed picture of Kofi Annan. Plus, think of the positive impact this would have on 4-star restaurants on the east side of Manhattan, and on employment in the Swiss banking industry.
