14 Trillion: The Amount Spent On Bailouts Globally Since The Great Recession

We had spotted multiple recession stats, bailout stats and job stats before. We spotted this today:

"The amount of money thrown at rescuing the world economy since the Great Recession began is truly staggering, probably more than $14 trillion, and the financial spigots are still open.

In 2009, the IMF calculated that official rescue efforts totaled nearly $12 trillion, and since then the Fed and the ECB have pumped more cash into the economies they oversee.

All of this money - equivalent to the annual output of the U.S. economy or roughly $2,000 for every man, woman and child on the planet - cushioned the economic blow worldwide from collapsing house prices in the United States and parts of Europe, bank failures and the steep contraction in business and household spending."
