The New York Times reports (and Yahoo! News repeats without any paywall) that the government of Saudi Arabia is threatening to sell $750 billion in treasury securities and other unidentified assets if Congress passes the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act. The bill would allow foreign governments to be sued by 9/11 victims and their families. The threat was issued by Saudi Arabian foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir to unnamed US lawmakers while he was visiting Washington sometime last month, on the grounds that these assets could be in danger of being frozen by US courts.

Can anyone remember when the times were not hard, and money not scarce?

I did not say I would do it, I would WISH it. As in hope it happens by accident or due to bad karma.
Nice try hidden coward, but fail sauce is all you get for dinner.
