FYI ... CNN BAILOUT TRACKER

CNN has a useful bailout tracker (hat tip to Rude Awakening). It shows which agency is on the hook (actually, you and I are) and where the money's going.

It also tells you how much of our taxpayer funded bailout money has been committed, and how much has been spent. So far $11 trillion has been committed, but just $2.8 billion has been spent. As you can imagine, there are side stories to all the committed money (which I've discussed elsewhere).

You can check out all the numbers here.
