Much less than that, but substantial nevertheless, 1.75 Trillion, and that's just the printing. If the system was working, that would produce 35 Trillion in new credit, for a leverage factor of 20. But it ain't. For example, Just 8 billion coupon pass caused a 1000 point DOW rally in 2006 or so. Derivatives just put cash from one pocket to another, for now from the government straight into GS's pocket. It doesn't evaporate. Stocks and especially houses evaporated + jobs, that's real.
