    We're now bailing out at least two foreign banks as well.

    why don't they buy up all the child support debt too while they're at it? i mean, if it's bad debts they're looking for, may as well take on the debts that affect those of us on the bottom tier of society too...be nice if the government would bail out some poor people now and again instead of just millionaires and billionaires. then taxpayers might not have to resent it so much.

    I have always wondered, how all this money going to be paid back. This has to be borrowed money due to this country has been in debt for years. The countries that lent us this money will want it back and we have no of paying it back. I have heard bits and pieces of the US government selling our infrastructure such as selling our schools, prisons and government services to private company's but I do not know how much of this is true.

    Come on people, read a little. It is obvious that some of you have no clue what the gravity of this situation is. Otherwise you wouldn't be making comments like "bailing out the millionaires". I'm not saying that all this stuff is easy to comprehend, but at least make an effort to understand what is going on.

    i understand that because we've given these rich people too much power and control in our government and society in general, when they fuck up we all feel the pain. we oughta quit doing that. giving them more money, and essentially rewarding them for fucking up, is not going to make this a better world in the long run. and the further down this road we go, the highter the stakes are gonna be when they fuck up.

    The topic creator is an idiot. Way to fudge numbers for your own gain, you're a con just like the rest of them

    that 700 billion is still just a fraction of the 50+ trillion dollar debt hes already racked up
