Remember my last tally from back in October, Fools? While the nation was wrapped up in debate over the $700 billion bailout, the Fed and the Treasury were busy running up a tab more than five times that size. In just seven weeks, though, the problem has more than doubled in scope while the distraction has been reduced to a laughable $25 billion.

Fools, while we were all wasting our breath debating the finer points of a $25 billion bailout for the automakers, these unelected officials were busy bringing the total sum pledged in a misguided response to the financial crisis to a whopping $8.6 trillion!!

Please don't miss this article, as I believe that being aware of this tally is vital to understanding the big picture of where we stand today as a nation ... in an undeniable state of fiscal insolvency.
