There are 9.4 trillion dollars in sub prime loans. Present plan is to give $700 billion (not million) to wealthy wall street banks as a gift. But this is might take 14 more bailouts to buy all the subprime bad investments. By then, inflation will have taken over the economy, the dollar would be worthless, and gasoline would have tripled. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the revised version of $700 billion bank bailout plan intended to bolster the ailing U.S. financial system.
The bailout did not get through Congress, but no, the money would come from the US taxpayers. Update: The bailout did pass, and the money is coming from the Treasury and Federal Reserve. This could be argued to suggest the money is coming from the taxpayers.

If the bailout package is able to successfully revive the US economy then the US government should cut spending on the bailout. But some financial experts feel this 700 billion may not be sufficient.

This bailout cannot be left in midway because the future of the world and US economy lies predominantly on this bailout and people are hoping that this works out successful.
