Appalling story in the Politico that if everything went wrong, the bailout could cost 23 trillion dollars. Trillion with a t. And while that is horrifying, this quote from the story made me laugh out loud:
Still, the eye-popping price tag provoked an immediate reaction on Capitol Hill. “The potential financial commitment the American taxpayers could be responsible for is of a size and scope that isn’t even imaginable,” said Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. “If you spent a million dollars a day going back to the birth of Christ, that wouldn’t even come close to just one trillion dollars – $23.7 trillion is a staggering figure.”
They just can’t help themselves.
