Hi all,
I'm sitting here watching CNBC, perhaps you all saw what I am going to talk about.
Today "we" as a nation are engaged in national discussion as our
legislators debate an additional "bailout" package approaching One Trillion dollars; additional, that is, to the 350 billion we have already spent, with negligible effect!
How much is one trillion dollars?
the example given on CNBC went like this; if you spent One million dollars per day, since the Birth of Christ, you still would not reach one trillion dollars:
Here is the computation:
((2008 * 365) + 43) * 1 000 000 = 732 963 000 000!
That is Seven hundred thirty two billion, nine hundred sixty three million dollars; well short of the one trillion dollar mark.
It's all going onto the Federal Balance sheet; IMHO this entire process is fundamentally Un-American! The Government is in effect nationalising the core financial sub-structure of the United States.
This is not the function of Government in America!
This is a very dangerous game!
No doubt there will be countervailing opinion!

1 tril. divided by 300 mil. equals
3300 bucks for every man, woman and
child in the U.S.
With that kind of money in our pockets there would be lot of tv's,
cars, etc. bought, end of recession.
Unfortunately, we will not see a dime of it. It all will go to the
bankers and politicians.
Bummer is a Bush in a disguise.
