If Obama and his congress can spend trillions upon trillions to failing banks...?

the problem here is that you're using facts and numbers to convince a liberal of something. bad move. liberals want to know a few things, like: How does this help the poor? Does it make people feel better about themselves? Will it somehow lower the burdensome debt of health care for the average joe? Will it allow for more money to be spent on public education....because that's what's really wrong with our schools, lack of money!
