TQueezy Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Good catch TQ...It's always said 137 trillion right??? Or billions of dollars to represent trillions of dinar. Approx. 1000 to 1, so that makes sense. So does millions of USD mean only billions of IQD? Has to be a typo. They can't operate on billions only for a budget. Unless their currency's value changed drastically for the better. But then the millions in Dollars reference makes no sense still... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had dinars in my head and thought maybe they let something slip! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWGUY Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 This is actually a positive article. Not so much, because they are planning on passing the budget, because I really don't think the new rate will be in there, but because it shows, they can actually all agree on something! This is progress, and hopefully it will continue. It will take a lot more cooperation, to get where they, and we need to be. Go RV!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
