- techguru2006, on 01/03/2009, -1/+47Dugg for making me wonder if this is a joke, but it turns out it's real.
- badfish0116, on 01/03/2009, -3/+44I like the part where Obama supports this and all the other bailouts. CHANGE indeed!
- inactive, on 01/03/2009, -0/+35Where is all of this money coming from...oh wait, you and me
- lisaawesome, on 01/03/2009, -1/+29Bailouts for all!
- haydukeqc, on 01/03/2009, -0/+27What pussys, balance your own budget like the rest of us.
- treelovinhippie, on 01/03/2009, -1/+25Those printing presses must be running out of ink by now. Demonetization here we come!
- SemiSarcastic, on 01/03/2009, -0/+20My grandfather always talked to me about the Great Depression. At least now I'll see all the fuss was about.
- JazminMillion, on 01/03/2009, -0/+17Make sure you get an IOU for that.
- Stormwern, on 01/03/2009, -1/+17Ouch, is there anything left in America that doesn't need a bailout.
- AnonBuffalo, on 01/03/2009, -1/+16Governor Patterson is stupid. He clearly cannot SEE how much an additional 1 Trillion Dollar debt would kill our economy.
Seriously though, this guy is awful. NY is in a huge deficit, my tuition has jumped $2,600 per year under him. The man cannot ballance a budget. This is the guy that wants to tax things like iTunes downloads, instead of looking to cut spending. I'll gladly take Spitzer back. - thepeacemaker, on 01/03/2009, -0/+12>Where is all of this money coming
>from...oh wait, you and me
Not sure about you but I'm not Chinese. - Enlightenment, on 01/03/2009, -0/+12Don't Buy Stuff You Can't Afford:

- darkened, on 01/03/2009, -0/+10Welcome to the era of the most blatant fleecing of America, EVER.
- nick2, on 01/03/2009, -1/+10I don't like our governor.
-Wisconsin Resident - inactive, on 01/03/2009, -0/+9Why isn't this bigger news?? I can't find this on any front page news. A few weeks ago all we heard about was the auto industry asking for a bailout...I guess $1 trillion isn't really all that much.
- unitedkronos, on 01/03/2009, -2/+11Isn't Schwarzenegger asking for cash as well? It's unfair to say that it's just Democrats trying to leech money from the US Government.
- reaper527, on 01/03/2009, -0/+9""It's clear that the federal government needs to step in and jump-start the economy," said Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts."
i can't stand my governor :( deval "Together We Can... Raise Taxes" patrick needs to realize that the federal government needs to step out, not in. look what happened when the federal government stepped in for the banks. they started giving million dollar bonuses and buying chinese banks.
we need to cut spending, not add 1 trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) in debt. - inactive, on 01/03/2009, -0/+9My bilge pump works quit well /230-watts solar power
when the ***** hit's the fan I'm going to Monday Island to sit it out,and my digg friend are invited ! - JonForTheWin, on 01/03/2009, -0/+8STOP FEEDING THE GOVERNMENT TROLLS
- groo68, on 01/03/2009, -0/+8I wonder if there are 13 trillion dollars worth of paper notes out there or if half of that is just in computers. (13.3 trillion dollars is us purchasing power).
- RuthlessPirate, on 01/03/2009, -1/+8$1 trillion will be equivalent to about $10 before all this is over
- Paulorific, on 01/03/2009, -1/+8Let's see. I bet the one thing in this country that actually is in need of more money (education) is the one thing that won't receive it.
- govsucks, on 01/03/2009, -1/+8Gimme gimme gimme, gimme some more! Gimme gimme gimme, don't ask what for!
Funny how spending less is NEVER an option with government.
Now, go manage our healthcare affordably government. - mrgreg, on 01/03/2009, -0/+6Amen to that!
-Another WI Resident - zemkacz, on 01/03/2009, -0/+6sadly we will :(
After all this, we are going to be wiping our asses with $100 bills since toilet paper will cost over $800 per roll. - moose1627, on 01/03/2009, -0/+6They're always looking for something else to tax to run their bloated programs.
I don't understand, why can't thy just balance their budgets.
It's quite simple, spend less than you take in. Don't spend all the extra money you get in good years and use that extra savings during a downturn.
These people should NOT get the money and should be held accountable for their mal-governance. - superterrorizer, on 01/03/2009, -0/+6and walking to work, uphill... both ways.
- inactive, on 01/03/2009, -1/+6I gots me my bucket nows wheres the way out?
- UnforgivenDad, on 01/03/2009, -0/+5Oh great, another $1 trillion dollars that can't be accounted for. Nobody seems to be able to account for the $700 billion bailout money :(
- ceredron, on 01/03/2009, -1/+6*****, we oregonians don't even have a sales tax and we got this ***** in the black.
- inactive, on 01/03/2009, -0/+5"where the ***** is all the tax money going?"
food stamps, state investigations, state attorney general's offices, investigator generals offices, state courts, state DMVs, counties, state general services, state medicaid fraud investigators, the national guard, state home health care services and regulators, state universities, corrections, prison mantainence, banking regulators, medicaid, k-12 ed., state roads, snow removal, public parks, state police, state fire, mental health centers, shelters, disaster relief, administrative offices and services, licensing, reading programs........... - Rudegar, on 01/03/2009, -0/+5lend money from china to give them to governors hmmm
better charge the governors a higher interest then china wants
otherwise it's bad for business - Lazydriver, on 01/03/2009, -0/+5Look, y'all are idiot jackasses. Thanks to our con artist profiteers from the realty industries that had our mortgate rates go up as property values rose, less and less people could afford to pay for them, thus getting rid of the property tax income by a large margin. As such, states now can't manage their budgets, at least I know Nevada's situation, it's different for every state.
You have NO IDEA how much Nevada needs this kind of thing. We've done every single cut we can think of. Of course, the idiot corrupt politicians don't realize taxing the Mining Industry at least 5% for the Gold they mine out here would solve all our problems, but everyone prefers when the money is magically created out of thin air then coming out of their own selfish pockets.
Happy hunting, greedy bastards. You reap what you sow: when you said you hated taxes, you get bailouts. Congratulations. Bills have to be paid somehow.
What'll ruin this country is lack of care for your fellow citizen, and a society where everyone looks out only for themselves and not their neighbors as well. Perhaps this recession will bring back that spirit, I hope. - CountBrass, on 01/03/2009, -0/+5The US spending trillions to benefit its own people, instead of on killing foreigners!
Pfft, it will never happen. - jboitnott, on 01/03/2009, -0/+5If only it were possible.
- tgc1, on 01/03/2009, -1/+6So hold on... where the ***** is all the tax money going? If those governments were more fiscally conservative they wouldn't have this problem. I swear it's basically go time, these people (bankers, politicians and big business) are going to settle on nothing but the utter destruction of the American dollar.
Can anyone guess what will happen if the Fed lends the federal government 1 trillion dollars that they pull from their asses? Can anyone readily address what the current deficit and national debts are? I'm pretty sure that point economists were speaking of way back about not being able to even service loans is going to come into effect soon if this keeps up. How can the US maintain loans in excess of their GDP? I'm talking strictly the interest here. The loans can never be paid off as is.
What kind of fantasy land are these people living in? So instead of riding out this recession for 3-8 years they want to just pave it over like it isn't happening. Utter ***** morons I tell you. How can they be this naive and stupid? - inactive, on 01/03/2009, -0/+4As though Uncle Sam, up to his eyeballs in debt, had a trillion dollars to spare.
- lowdose, on 01/03/2009, -0/+4won't do a damn thing, everything is from china now...
- borez, on 01/03/2009, -0/+4OK, enough... no more Bailouts, what is done now we will all suffer for later, big time.
There's a big can of worms being opened here and it's starting to look like a drug or gambling addict on a rampage with an endless supply of funds which actually only exist in the mind of the addict and his line of credit.
Trouble is this line of credit will only end with the destruction of the addict and the people around them. America needs ***** rehab... not more drugs. - Mpwns, on 01/04/2009, -0/+4depression 2.0 by june or sooner. ill even bet on it. but ill take food over money if i win.
- SouthsideIrish, on 01/04/2009, -0/+4You damn Misses fan! Everyone will tell you, and knows the hyperinflation is not possible and that what is happening in Zimbabwe couldn't happen here. Go back and study real economics. /s
- IAmTheGuy, on 01/03/2009, -0/+4No. Only 10% or so of the money in the U.S. is physical money. The rest is all bank accounts and whatnot.
- yacinebouatrous, on 01/03/2009, -1/+5that money should be used to bailout Europe, thanks to the U.S for their markets without regulation, we all have to suffer now!
I'm tired of the poltically correctness, we need to embargo the U.S - Slycer, on 01/03/2009, -0/+4Oh boy, does anyone remember a time when 1 trillion dollars was really something? I mean like, unattainable.
These days asking for a trillion dollars is just something you're supposed to do. And they keep upping the ante. - SouthsideIrish, on 01/04/2009, -0/+4Most of it is actually done on a computer with bits. Most of the currency never even gets printed.
- SetOverSet, on 01/04/2009, -0/+4Of course not. That's the oldest trick in the book. Don't cut the stupid programs that should be cut, but instead cut education and then try to sell it back to us in the form of a latte tax or something like that. After all, who would say "no" to that. These state governments need to go bankrupt.
- inactive, on 01/04/2009, -0/+4How about NO.
How about this Governors: STOP ***** SPENDING. - inactive, on 01/03/2009, -0/+4... as you're typing on your computer in a heated building with plumbing?
