- Senator Soon You're Talking About Real Money In California
(Attributed to Everett M. Dirksen, US Senator from Illinois, 1950-1969) Based on a very unscientific twoitem sample – the recent J.P. Morgan trading loss and the Executive Life of NY (ELNY) loss – the minimum point for media outrage apparently is $2 billion. How else can one explain the media attention to the $2 billion. 'A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money' is the memorable (albeit possibly apocryphal) quotation attributed to longtime Senate Republican leader Everett Dirksen.
