At this point I think it ' s safe to say that the bailouts were a mistake . There needs to be some sort of investigation . It ' s not clear how much money was actually given to the banks . I remember when it started Ron Paul was saying that the number was 16 or 19 trillion . I think he even asked bernanke about it and he wouldnt say where the money went . I also remember it was said on the news that the federal reserve was giving us banks a trillion dollars a quarter up until a couple years ago . So is the number like 50 trillion ? <| sep |> Sort of . A 1998 JDM well duh Civic TypeRX EK 9 . It ' s no race car but it ' s always been my dream car along with the Integra TypeR DC 2 and S 2000 Integras in good shape are pretty much impossible to find here nowadays and AP 2 S 2000 s in decent to good conditions cost over 20 K here and I ' m paying 10 K for the EK 9 which is in pretty much mint conditions
