Four Questions about the Financial Crisis
Credit is the lifeblood of market economies, and the damage to our economy resulting from the constraints on the flow of credit has already been extensive.
Here's a bonus way to look at it.
$32.2 trillion represents $228,500 per employed civilian.
I can't speak for others, but as for my share, um, well, the check is in the mail!
$32 T is an awful lot of debt , but I remember a Mr Larry Kudlow saying back in '06 that you have to put it in perspective by looking at net worth.

I think my favorite Kudlow quote is from 2007.
Three More Years of Goldilocks?- Larry Kudlow, November 21, 2007
Candy Mountain!
this http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/153626/bush-boom-continues/larry-kudlow
is what I think shows Kudlow to be a psychic medium. Note the date.
And my most favored quote out of that nincompoop is "The Bush Boom: The Best Story Never Told." !
