Re: No one can see with certainty (none / 0)

No. The numbers are quite clear. On the PPIP, Treasury forecast up to $1T but has actually committed under $40B. You can't round that up. This is my complaint against the MJ article and all the people who decided Bush appointee Barofky was the word of God. The PPIP exposure is in the tens of billions. Let's get some reality principle going here.

Re: No one can see with certainty (none / 0)

And does that include contingent liabilities and counterparty risk?

If you only spend 20 minutes of the rest of your life on economics, go spend them here.

Re: No one can see with certainty (none / 1)

As far as I can tell, yes.
