The mind boggles at those sums of money, especially as most of it is not hard currency.

I do wonder what some of the deficits for other developed countries are.

We borrow it, how do you think we can handle 485 billion in the red?

Its technically a loan. Were not giving it to them up front, but extending it as a sort of line of credit and charging them 11% interest.

Its giving them a chance to sell off part of the $1Trillion in assets they have to pick themselves up without having to worry.

From Europeans and Japanese. Google where the money came from.

Thank a foreigner for your job tomorrow.

Hypothetically the government could turn a profit on this. Still bad business.
