Government Bailout History

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | October 02, 2008 - 11:35

Courtesy of Schuyler Cook, take a look at Pro Publica's History of U.S. Government Bailouts.The post contains a visual diagram showing the size of the proposed bailouts compared to other bailouts since 1970. There is also a chart on how each of the bailouts fared. The government actually made a profit on some bailouts, such as loan fees from the Lockheed bailout and from Chrysler stock warrants given to the government in exchange for the loans. Whether the government makes a profit is, of course, contingent on whether the corporations can pay back the loans.

HR 3997 is the bill that failed to pass in the House. HR 1424 is the billed passed by the Senate on 10/1/2008. HR 1424 is titled Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act of 2007. As originally introduced, the bill solely dealt with parity for mental health and substance abuse benefits. The bailout provisions were added later.

Can you guess which circle represents the current bailout? from Pro Publica's History of U.S. Government Bailouts.
