A Staten Island mom is making national headlines today after suing the city of West Brighton for $900 trillion, alleging the city improperly placed her two children in foster care.
The $900 trillion figure, first reported by the New York Post, certainly is staggering and the standard response so far has been to treat the lawsuit as something of a joke, focusing on the mother's alleged mental illness.
Partisan guy: 900 trillion? Isn't that what Michelle Obama spent on designer clothes last month? Or was that her last vacation on the goverment's dime?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
