The BOTTOM LINE is that Wall Street simply CANNOT BE TRUSTED to handle money responsibly. They had their chance and now our kids have another $3 TRILLION dollars (at least) in debt to show for it.

Really? Where did you get that figure?

“Really? Where did you get that figure?”

Yea, probably low. You had a bailout for a Trillion. Then the Fed “loaned” trillion to banks (i.e., printed money). Then had Obama get elected and instantly push up government spending by about $500B per year, since he took office (expanded food stamps, green energy, etc.). Probably more like 5 to 10 Trillion. Quite a bit, no?
