potential 4.1 trillion in loans divided by 305 million americans is $13,000 each.
not sure what the bailout fees will actually be (200 bil guaranteed, but to 4.1 tril from what i've seen).
when you count in all the interest on interest we're paying over time, doubling every 7 year or less, 50k over the lifetime is entirely reasonable for total cost.
Either way, it blows. They loaned irresponsibly ONLY BECAUSE they knew they were federally insured and bush would give them this bailout. Everyone is asking for the bailout $ now... president Obama won't be so friendly.
