I have seen numerous versions of this same calculation in the past week or two, so I know roughly how it will come out depending on whose numbers you look at. They come out within about $500 dollars of each others' calculations.

I am sorry, but the bailout plan costing 750 Billion dollars in another chance to fleece us all. There are very real options to solve this that do not cost that kind of money (see Mike Dunbar's post). It is simply a matter of implementing them. Bill has already posted some of the pork barrel B.S. attached to this and it is totally inexcusable.
