I don't have any economic education, so at some level I have to accept what op-eds and other articles are saying about this 700 billion dollars. It's all a bit beyond me and some people are saying panic panic, and others are saying, no don't panic yet, panic soon. Anyways, I don't really feel very much panic, 700 billion is a bit too much to imagine for me.

So, I was trawling through some thread and found a link to this primer about everything that's going on. I found it readable (even if I still don't understand it all) so I'm interested to know what other people who might understand the situation better think of it.
