One of the surest way when you know the stock market is in deep trouble - Worldwide banks are in "Intensive Care Units" or in my own words - it is "Intensive Scare Units". How are the goverments gonna to bail out the massive heart attacks due to the cardiac arrest? How much more Ab+ blood supplies or cardiac pumps can they administer to ensure all these patients to stay alive?

Same way they've been doing it. Through virtually unlimited, no-strings-attached infusions of taxpayer dollars.

As much as it takes. Forever, indefinitely if needed. And there's nothing that the public as a whole can or will do about it. If tax increases are needed and are met with resistance what happens? Police and public benefits are slashed or eliminated so as to scare/coerce the public into approving them.

Why do we keep voting these people in? Because that very same public will continue to vote based on single, superficial issues such as "Liberal", "Tea Party endorsed", age, race, gender, looks, oratory ability, a desire to be aligned "with the side that's winning", etc. For instance there are people out there who call themselves Liberals who would willingly, knowingly, and out of spite for the "opposition" vote for a "Liberal" candidate even if that candidate promised to raise taxes to 100% before that voter would even consider crossing party loyalty and affiliations. And ditto for the conservative and middle of the road sides.
