Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- The stimulus package the U.S. Congress is completing would raise the government’s commitment to solving the financial crisis to $9.7 trillion, enough to pay off more than 90 percent of the nation’s home mortgages.

Where's the outrage?! damn it! we just keep handing money to the people and corps that have brought the crisis and it's not even working. i don't know if this was posted before but this gets my goat, especially since a lot of folks were saying we should pay mortgages back when the bailouts were first discussed. argh, we'd have a construction boom by now, course renters might be a little miffed.
