1. Nothing. The Swap Market (credit/default/derivatives) is worth $50 Trillion.

5. I'm wondering who is it that loses if

these seemingly private bets concerning a third party mortgage can't be paid? And, are these credit default swaps anything more that a glorified Bookie system? But more importantly, I feel that there should be an honest accounting of how this mess came to be in the first place and an explanation given to the American people sans the BS spin and doubletalk. I would trust Dennis Kucinich to lead such an endeavor. Only then could the American people decide whether they even care to give their hard earned tax dollars to the people who caused the crisis to begin with.
