the USA has over $140 Trillion in financial assets...

Even if this bailout does approach $1 Trillion it is but a drop in the bucket. Billions are made and lost every day. Over the course of a year or so, this will all be absorbed into the background noise...

Look, I'm not thrilled with the way things have been handled regarding the economy...But this is not a world ending nightmare senario playing out in front of us...

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

        That there is a problem with saying that the fed is printing money to try to stop this crisis. (n/t) - Yeti - 3/25/2008 11:17:00 PM
        
        Well, using satirical language, I guess it is accurate. - alcaray - 3/26/2008 12:22:25 AM
