Total money sought for the bailout: $700 Billion
Total money promised on bailouts just this past two weeks: $200 (Freddie / Fannie) + $85 (AIG) + $700 (MOAB) = $985 BILLION
at $4B a year, this would have paid for 246 years of SCHIP - until the year 2253.
So, here is my challenge to Kossacks:
Let us start a list of what the Bush Administration refused to fund that could have been funded by a trillion dollars.
