<<<# Rough total: $2,063,800,000,000

That's a little over $6,800 for every man, woman, and child, or just under $15,000 for each of America's 140 million taxpayers.

Thanks (but no thanks) to Reason Foundation's Anthony Randazzo for these horrifying numbers, who also says "Oh, and keep in mind that this doesn’t include the hundreds of billions the Fed has and will buy up in commercial paper and lend out to other financial firms." >>>

WOW!!!

That is committing a lot of money!!!

What are they trying to do? Are they trying to stop a global depression or something?

In contrast ... George W. Bush committed to spend at least that much to stop Iraq from developing WMD. That committment was never budgeted.

Ignorance has to be bliss.
