And the bail out goes right in to the toilet

There are no easy answers here to any of this. Any single figure is not going to shed light on the complicated, tangled mess that is our current financial situation. Government - all three branches thereof - have certainly all played a role in this, and there is plenty of blame to go around.

And I doubt even people with PhDs in Economics think they know all the answers here. Or that there is any single "answer."

But easy answers make good headlines and get better ratings!

Come on, there has to be a 30 second answer to all this. You can't seriously expect people to pay attention to something longer than a sound bite!

I reccomend Walter E Williams for any ecconomic annalysis.
