Welcome

Here is some other info..

CNBC has been tracking the number more closely than others. Their total ( allocated and or spent) for the USA IS 4.23 trillion dollars - as of 14 0r 17 NOV 2008.

Lets see.... one trillion equals 1,000 billion....... so 4,230,000,000,000 for 'The Financial Sector' and in terms of spent for Automotive.....ZIP.

'Promised'....... 50 biilion, reneged on 25 billion and 25 billion stuck in limbo at the DOE..... yep, close enough for Government work - especially this one.

So 4,230,000,000,000 vs 25,000,000,000 is a ratio of 4,230:25

Or 169.2:1

Oh and that 169.2 is a 'gimme' and the "1" is an interest bearing loan.
