And since we were already at 12 trillion in debt...they didn't actually have the money to do the bailout. So they just printed more. Just like they do every year when Congress raises the "Debt Ceiling.

The "Debt Ceiling"...what a FUCKING JOKE. It was passed into law a couple of decades back to STOP the govt. from spending too much.
Instead they simply raise it twice a year and keep right on spending and printing money. And if ANY politician tries to say "No" to raising the debt ceiling...then they are accused of "shutting down the govt."

And now we're closing in on 20 TRILLION dollars in debt.

That is how Washington D.C. operates. Double talk and bullshit.
