Remember when 'trillion' was just a stupid made up word you used as a kid? Yeah, not so much any more. So far, the pledges that the United States government have made in the bailout add up to $8,560,000,000,000. That's eight trillion, five hundred and sixty billion dollars. Which is about $26,500 each for every man, woman and child in the United States. The figure adds up to more than the cost of: the Marshall Plan, the Louisiana Purchase, the Savings and Loans crisis, the Korean war, the Iraq war, the Vietnam war, the entire cost of the NASA space program, and the New Deal. COMBINED (and adjusted for inflation). And yet Americans still have the most retarded healthcare system in the western world. Go figure..
