How’s That Bailout Working Out For You?

The numbers are staggering but I thought it might be worth checking in and looking at what your government has allocated to backstop the economy and how much has spent. Yielding Wealth has a handy chart which I have lifted for easy reference. But please notice what has been allocated vs what had been spent. What I find stunning is the amount allocated vs the amount spent. This does not include the Auto money. Nor does it include Nancy Pelosi and Obama’s plan to spend up to a trillion more.

Yielding wealth is a great sight for up to the minute consumer finance information. I highly recommend it.
