the US Bailout has cost everyman woman and child in the US $26,331; that is $57,971 for each personal tax return filed last year. 1)what do you think? 2)how much should we spend? 3)is there a better use of your money? cost of bailout - 8,000,000,000,000 http://www.prisonplanet.com/cost-of-bail... Population of US - 303,824,640 https://www.cia.gov/library/publications... GDP-13,840,000,000,000 https://www.cia.gov/library/publications... $ per Man/Woman/Child - 26,331 (calculation) GDP per Man/Woman/Child - 45,553 (calculation) i think we the people need to start a movement to recoup our losses and stop this madness. if this money was returned to the taxpayers the economy would not be in a downward spiral. the fed does not have an ROI for this "investment". calculations show it will take 3.62 years of personal income taxes to pay down just this principle. That means shutting down the ENTIRE government for 3.62 years just to pay down the principle (not interest) we've given access to our funds without any idea what the ROI is, not a sound business practice. get your stinking paws off me you damn filthy ape!
