JPMorgan Gave Lehman $138 Billion After Bankruptcy

JPMorgan Chase & Co. gave $138 billion this week in Federal Reserve-backed advances to the broker dealer unit of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. to settle Lehman trades and keep financial markets stable amid the biggest bankruptcy in history, according to a court filing.

the fed just keeps on printing new money, it's almost like they want hyper-inflation.

what's the running total of bailouts?

Bear Stearns: $50 B
Lehman: $135 B
AIG: $85 B
F Mac & F Mae $?? B

i'm sure there's more, and that's just in the last few months
