On: Ask HN: What would you do with $700 Billion?

[auntjemima]

I'd take two billion too, set up the rest of the money as a trust to fund four specific areas:

1. get people in the developing world clean water, access to enough food, and healthcare

2. give people money to get themselves out of debt (with accountability)

3. lobby the US government for various tax (simplicity is needed), healthcare, and humanitarian laws

4. funding for major energy research results
