USA Bailout perspective

USA Bailout perspective

The bailout so far has cost 4.3 Trillion


That's :
the Marshall plan
the Louisiana purchase
the Race to the Moon
the S&L Crisis
the Korean War

the Whole New Deal
the Iraq war
the War in Vietnam
NASA's budget to date for its entire life...


COMBINED.


And the kicker...
that's adjusted for inflation.

Ouch. That really puts it in perspective! And by one estimate the total cost is now up to 7 trillion. Thanks for the excellent post.

It does put it into perspective, but what it fails to state is that we are already seeing the positives. Media thrives from negativity and it makes me sick. Most people don't realize how much money there is out there. During economic times like this, there is more money to be had than ever. Because of the bailouts and economy, lenders are bending over backwards to bail you out too. Believe it or not, there is people getting tons of cheap money nowdays to start businesses, buy homes, pay off debt, and more. Bailout is for You Too!
