The total cost of the 2008 bailouts compared to past government programs, via The Lumberjack, with numbers from Boing-Boing:
I’ve got a couple of hundred dollar bills and I’m going to go get in line for the color copier at Kinko’s. Sure, they won’t be exactly like the ones the government is printing, but they’ll be worth the same. The only question is, can I print enough? Good thing Kinko’s is open 24 hours, and they take credit cards!
These bailouts are a disaster. It makes me feel like banging my head on a wall. I don’t care what ‘the DOW says’ anymore, investors are a bunch of jumpy crybabies.
