Not to worry, especially since the current USA bailout of Wall Street (trickle down, anyone? LOL, since the money is being used for mergers and overseas loans).

It cost the USA 3.6 trillion in today's dollars to win WW2. That is the only expense in US History that even starts to approach the amounts the USA government is now pledging to save the USA economy.

Scale anyone?

TARP 's 700 billion Is just part of the current 8.5 trillion USA taxpayer exposure.

Consider the context general of unconditional and interest free foreign aid to Israel (and to Egypt and Jordan (not interest free) so long as they play nice with Israel)

And then taxpayers are going to cough up 3-10 billion this January in cash with no deliverables required to Israel at the end of January?

Will we see senatorial outrage like we saw with the auto companies when this dough is sent overseas in the new year?
