AIG Bailout equals 5 years of earmarks

Edited on Tue Sep-16-08 09:57 PM by louis c

and that's just this bail out. Put aside Fanne and Freddie and Bear Sterns. If you include them, we're probably up to about 300 billion dollars. That's about 16 years of earmarks. not bad for a bad month.

A whole year of earmarks is worth 18 billion.
