Bailout Costs Now Exceed That of American Wars

"According to CRS, all major U.S. wars (including such events as the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, but not the invasion of Panama or the Kosovo War), cost a total of $7.2 trillion in inflation-adjusted 2008 dollars."

We're now up to $8 trillion in various bailouts. No wonder Jumpin' Joe calls it "War."
