Дорогие американцы, вы попали на 700 миллиардов. Это 5% ВНП.
В прошлый раз был 160, но за 20 лет собака существенно подросла. Насколько она подрастет до следующего раза - можете себе вообразить.

P.S. subj, кто не помнит.
P.P.S. кстати, если кто радовался выданым недавно правительством 600 долларов на человека, то вот они обратно и впятеро. Как говорил Рейган, the nine most terrifying words in the English language are:
"I'm from the government and I am here to help."

3P.S.
Hmmm:
The key problem on this side of the
Atlantic is that the largest European banks have become not only too
big to fail but also too big to be saved. For example, the total
liabilities of Deutsche Bank (leverage ratio over 50!) amount to around
2,000 billion euro, (more than Fannie Mai) or over 80 % of the GDP of
Germany. This is simply too much for the Bundesbank or even the German
state to contemplate, given that the German budget is bound by the
rules of the Stability pact and the German government cannot order
(unlike the US Treasury) its central bank to issue more currency. The
total liabilities of Barclays of around 1,300 billion pounds (leverage
ratio over 60!) surpasses Britain’s GDP. Fortis bank, which has been in
the news recently, has a leverage ratio of "only" 33, but its
liabilities are several times larger than the GDP of its home country
(Belgium).
