$1,516,000,000,000

$1,516,000,000,000 = TOTAL amount of US Tax Payer dollars this wonderful government has spent on this stupid wall Street Bailout package.

$816,000,000,000 (Bear Stearns, Fannie and Freddie, and AIG) + $700,000,000,000 (Buying up bad debts for wall street banks) = $1,516,000,000,000

And YET, even with all this money injected into the system, the DJIA continues to drop to around 9000 points, a figure it has not been at since the 90's. Looks like the bailout is working OH SO WELL!
