Statistics of the Day - the American "Bailout package"

• Cost of the Democratic Congressional package, to supposedly turn the US economy around: $787 billion
• Notice given of the intent to pass the "plan": less than 48 hours
• Length of the package supposedly scrutinised in that time: 1,073 pages
• Cost of the bill with interest to US taxpayers, their children and their children's children: about $1.14 trillion. 
• New debt for each American household resulting from this: about $30,000
