This is unconfirmed at the moment as I haven’t had the chance to personally dig up each figure, then adjust it for inflation, but the graphic over at Voltage Creative is scary stuff. In a nutshell, it illustrates in pie graph form how the cost of the 2008 Bailout equals the following:
- The Marshall Plan
- The Louisiana Purchase
- Moonshot
- S&L Crisis
- The Korean War
- The New Deal
- The Iraq War
- The Vietnam War
- NASA’s all time budget.
Now, I’m no economist. But – seriously?
