Setting aside how good or necessary it may or not be to give large wodges of money to rich people to squander, I read this and found it interesting.
If these numbers to be believed, this "bailout" will cost more than the Moonshot, the New Deal, The Marshall Plan, Monkeyboy's Iraq adventure, and various other exploits combined.
Imagine all that could've been done with that much money. Think about what was. Think about what we can't do now because we're spending it on staff retreats and ivory buttscratchers for Saudi princes.
At the very least think about how many ordinary people could get bailed out with this much money. Or how much of our crumbling infrastructure we could upgrade.
I may be a bit off base here and this could be the best use for the money,, But I doubt it.
