Question by bad girl: When are the Republicans going to add up the true debt of the George W. administration?
Concentrate: Bailout Was Really $ 7.77 Trillion

Remember the $ 700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Plan with which the federal government came to the rescue of faltering banks in 2008? Effectively, according to a Bloomberg report, that was just a fraction of the financial help the Federal Reserve Bank wound up doling out to troubled lenders. The real total was reportedly closer to $ eight trillion, right after you add up benefits outside TARP, including emergency loans provided at beneath-marketplace rates:
The volume of funds the central bank parceled out was surprising even to Gary H. Stern, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis from 1985 to 2009, who says he “wasn’t conscious of the magnitude.” It dwarfed the Treasury Department’s better-acknowledged $ 700 billion Troubled Asset Relief System, or TARP. Add up guarantees and lending limits, and the Fed had committed $ seven.77 trillion as of March 2009 to rescuing the financial technique, more than half the value of every thing produced in the U.S. that year.
Bloomberg came up with that quantity after reviewing “29,000 pages of Fed documents obtained underneath the Freedom of Information Act and central bank records of much more than 21,000 transactions.” Bloomberg adds, “The Fed didn’t inform anybody which banks were in trouble so deep they needed a combined $ 1.2 trillion on Dec. five, 2008, their single neediest day.” That is practically twice the quantity created public in TARP.

WHEN OWS GETS OUT THE GULLATINES
We have, plus we’ve added the trillions that the impostor currently in the White House has cost us.
You mean when are the Republicans going to reverse the bloated debt created by Obama?
That’s classified information.
Those are unfunded liabilities.
never. they can’t admit that “king george” ever did anything bad. their feeble little minds just can’t fathom that.
They won’t. They have their heads in the sand…
Who needs to add when O-Boy has tripled it?
the real debt of the Bush years was added up years ago
it still pales in comparison to the debt Obama is adding
