Sep. 19th, 2008 06:12 pmWell well well. I suppose it had to happen. But if you live in the United States, and pay taxes, you are now invested in $1,300,000,000,000.00 in bad loans.
If he's right about the $500 billion, the headline figure on the government's attempts to stem the credit crisis hits $1.3 trillion. That includes all the loans, investments and new programs committed by the Federal Reserve and Treasury this year.

Congratulations.
You could have purchased 435,073,627,844 Egg-and-Muffin 2-Slice Toaster and Egg Poachers and made 435,073,627,844 poached eggs and 870,147,255,689 muffin halves.
