Okay, let's do bailouts.
Here's a scorecard of the current situation.
Assume just for fun that none of those refunds on the charts exist. That we've spent $601 billion since 2008 on bailouts. Down the hole.
Tack that entire $601 billion on the chart along with the $4.7 billion Buffett tax and the $497 billion from killing all the tax cuts.
I tally up a total of $1.1 trillion.
Why, just another 100 billion and you could break even. For one year.
We can do this shit all day if you want, but I'm going to pick up my son from college. Back later.
