Well, it looks like Obama's key advisor understands
what he's up against.

"There’s no escape from the imperative need for the federal
government to come to the rescue to right the economic and
financial ship of state. Over time, the hard fact is that
several trillions of dollars will be necessary to be committed
in a combination of budgetary expenditures and various guarantee
and insurance programs and extensions of credit by the Federal
Reserve. Obviously, commitments made of that magnitude raise
very large questions. They are not only questions of avoiding
waste of the tax payers money as important as that is; there are
also risks of undermining confidence in the dollar and raising
fear of future inflation... we are in the midst of the mother of
all financial crises.”

Former chairman of the Federal Reserve Paul Volcker, January 21, 2009
