My dear American friends of all ages and political stripes. Listen to  meyerlemon  on this very important issue for she is wise. I do not only trust her as my main TV influence, but I'd also trust her with my money upon reading this post, (As a lady of libertarian inclinations, I'd feel totally comfortable voting for her, foreign policy analysis pending),

Won't cost that much in the end, not nearly. It's something of a hysterical figure, just like the initial estimates of the S&L bailouts. In fact, the government may very well end up making money on the deal, as it has in some other bailouts its undertaken. The key is that what it's buying (essentially, houses) has intrinsic value to it...it's tangible, real stuff likely to appreciate in value, especially since they are likely buying it at a fraction of what it's actually worth. The really bad part is when they do make a profit...will they pay the Joe and Jane taxpayer back? Um...no. Who are you little people again? >:[

I have no idea what you're talking about but I need to say you brought my attention to meyerlemon's LJ and I spent half the afternoon reading and LOLing and going ZOMG, why haven't I thought of that before! She's very witty and smart and fun.
