      Bail-out Bombshell: Fed "Emergency" Bank Rescue Totaled $29 Trillion Over Three Years

      While the 99% suffered hardship, a new study shows that the Fed propped up buddies in the banking industry and a vast shadow banking system far beyond what anyone has guessed.

      "These figures accurately reflect the cumulative totals over the approximately three years actually used by the Fed to prop-up domestic and international banks, shadow banks, central banks, and even some non-financial institutions."

      I think most of that debt comes from banks rather than any one individual government. The mess at the moment just goes to show that the money system the world is using is wrong. Money is virtual and therefore there is probably about 10X as much "money" as there is printed money because of lending, debts, repackaging debts etc. There simply isn't the money in the world to pay off all the debts.

      Man, that is sick! Unless some brave souls vote down all of these protectionist measures toward the leeches that bleed our country, we may set the record for fastest time a country has gone from top to bottom (barbarism)

      Not to mention how much $ we owe, US debt visualized: Stacked in 100 dollar bills

      Next election, no matter who you give your vote to, it's lose/lose :(
