Information Clearing House: U.S. Could Guarantee $2 Trillion For Banks
The government may guarantee nearly $2 trillion in U.S. banks' debt and deposit accounts for more than three years in an effort to break the crippling logjam in bank-to-bank lending.
That's the equivalent of about 20 percent of the national debt, which recently blew past $10 trillion, and roughly 14 percent of U.S. gross domestic product — the economy's total output of goods and services.
The temporary guarantees for banks by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. are in addition to the new $250 billion plan announced by the government Tuesday to directly buy shares in U.S. banks.

anybody could be excused for thinking £37bn would last more than one day !
but turning to mainstream media's lies and spin is not the answer
although I accept it is necessary to monitor the lies and spin
note how today they have been piling on the china india recession twaddle
it is SO SO script written, piece by piece little by little - all going in one direction
years ago I would have been so nose to the grindstone, so wrapped up in keeping my head above water with my businesses I would have soaked up this cr@p - but now I know different.
