Crazy and Committed: "$13.9 Trillion Total Maximum Government Support Announced"

An amazing post from Calculated Risk:

Government Support for Financial Assets and Liabilities Announced in 2008 and Soon Thereafter ($ in billions)

Important note: Amounts are gross loans, asset and liability guarantees and asset purchases, do not represent net cost to taxpayers, do not reflect contributions of private capital expected to accompany some programs, and are announced maximum program limits so that actual support may fall well short of these levels
