So far US Pledges to the financial industry exceed $7.7 trillion.

Current money actually laid out? $4.2845 trillion. To put that in perspective:

That’s $4,284,500,000,000 and more than what was spent on WW II, if adjusted for inflation, based on our computations from a variety of estimates and sources.

Yep, that’s what you get when finance industry guys manage the finance industry for 35 years.
