steak your missing the point of the 700 billion number
they will likely reduce it
but all this figure is, is how much toxic crap the government can hold at any one time!!!
government can buy up 100 bill of toxic crap than sell for 50 billion giving the taxpayer a 50 bil loss....and than take on another 100 bil
rinse wash repeat
if anything lowering the number could put us more at risk of losses since they will more likely part ways with the toxic crap alot faster and for a crappier price if somebody else comes to table in dire need of being saved and their holdings of toxic crap is already maxed out
