For comparison, the 2007 total budget was $2.8 trillion.
Let's forget that the trillion dollar figure is a Friday estimate: next Friday, and next month, it's likely to be much higher. And never mind the big automakers who've already asked for their share of the Federal bail-out pie, too.
I'm still waiting however, to hear how that trillion dollar bail-out debt breaks down per person; what's the average cost per US citizen going to be?
Does that work out to about $5000 per person for every man, woman and child ... $20,000 in new taxes for a 4-person family ... to bail-out the guys who got paid the big bucks to make smart financial decisions?
I'm steering clear of politics, but just one observation: maybe the nation's health care industry should declare bankruptcy next?
