It's currently just under $1trillion. This is what happens when accounting standards and regulation enforcement change to make Enron, et al acceptable and when government throws money at elite member of the economy (ie tax cuts, welfare to Halliburton) to make the economy look good.

Why not just pay everyone to rip up and replace their front lawn every year? It would have accomplished this same thing but made the little people richer.

BTW, the stock market goes down the year after a new Republican president gets elected. It happens every time. Can things get worse?
