Putting the Bailout in Perspective.

World War II cost in the same range as the bailout, maybe a little more at first or maybe less with interest.

Yes population growth matters but this graph drives the point home that what the Democrats are doing is in no way, shape or form an investment. It is a conscious destruction of the American economy. One of the Belmont Club commentators twobyfour has explored this point with reference to the Frankfurt School and Gramsci.
