It's quite an eye-opener for me to realise the amount of this bailout is about the size of our whole Australian economy. It's kind of surreal that somehow this 'money' is being found somewhere and it's the equivalent of the production of a wealthy, resource rich, nation of 22+ million people.
We had a major report into climate change being released yesterday, and the news got swamped by the market falls...it actually makes all the big business hysteria about the impact of emissions trading scheme will have on our economy quite laughable.....better, and more sustainable to tie our economy to carbon, than greed, I reckon.

That's what I said a few months ago when that economic stimulus thing was going on - and no, it wasn't sour grapes because I wasn't qualified. WHERE DID THAT MONEY COME FROM?
China.
One thing to remember is that the Republicans single-handedly doubled the national debt in 6 years, so the government owes nearly $10 trillion in debt right now, not including the bailout.

I had some today for lunch today because I am a patriotic American unlike the rest of you tax 'n' spend liberals. Go back to France already.
