They have already spent 900 billion on the crisis. So with the bail out they are going to 1.6 trillion. The countries debt is 10 trillion. So in one bang of the buck they increase the debt by 10%.
1.6 trillion is a lot. It is seriously dilluting the US dollar. The US government doesn't have this money and they are borrowing it from countries like China. The more the US dollar is dilluted the more energy prices will be. A tumbling dollar will cost job losses. A tumbling dollar will lead the nation to a serious recession.
freethinker. btw with $700 billion they could pay $50,000 to most homeowners in the US and pay off the mortage.
